I really hope more young athletes start hearing the message that overtraining is a serious issue! They’re often only told to push harder and do more, so this is such important and much-needed information.
I never realized there were different types of altitude training, so that was very cool to learn! The live high, train low method is actually very interesting!
I have learned about altitude and how it affects hemoglobin, but I think the way you described it made it easier to understand. I also appreciated you discussing how what we eat truly effects glycogen stores as someone with hypoglycemia!
It was interesting to learn more about altitude training and how it enhances aerobic performance because it increases the production of red blood cells and the capacity to carry oxygen due to lower oxygen availability at higher altitudes! Thanks for this video Dr. Goodin!!
Dr. Goodin, It was so interesting to examine the influence of altitude on performance. I always hear about certain UFC fighters taking advantage of the benefits of elevation, and now I know the science behind it!
I've been learning about overtraining from a nutritional standpoint in my other class and it was a fun connection to learn more about the training aspects of it and see all the side effects it can cause.
It is super important to know signs of overtraining, especially since I am going into the AT field. I may encounter several athletes along the way who overtrain and I may need to be the person who steps in and tells them that they need to recover and take some time off.
Wow, blood doping is honestly fascinating. It's crazy that it can make such a dramatic improvement in performance, enough to be deemed illegal, yet it comes from our own bodies.
This video helped me understand what overtraining can be attributed to. It is important that athletes are properly educated on the amount of training that they do so that they do not put themselves at risk for overtraining.
I found the "over-training" portion very interesting because it's something that isn't talked about very often! I learned how important our rest days can be!
It's super important to avoid overtraining because of the endocrine responses we can experience. I feel like a lot of people train to help their mental health, and if we overtrain, then we really aren't doing our mental health any good.
blood doping was really interesting, and I have never heard of that method. after you explained it though it totally makes sense how that would give an athlete an extra advantage
I think the whole live high train low is so fascinating! I think its so interesting the different impacts switching where you live and train makes. Specifically, red blood cells and sickle anemia and EPO were a fascinating area. I remember learning once how this impacts African American NFL players when they play in Colorado. Wild!
Walking for 5 mins after I moved to Sunny Diego had me feeling like I had done some serious training. San Diego has higher elevation than my city and I had to get used to it for weeks! It is incredible how athletes take altitudes to their advantage and has many benefits.
I find it very interesting and will definitely take it into account that overtraining is simply having an increase in intensity of training with a decrease recovery. The goal of training is to increase performance overtime, but this has to be in balance with adequate recovery.
I really hope the message that overtraining is a serious issue starts getting spread around to more young athletes! It seems the only message ever told to them is push harder and do the most, so this is really much needed info :)
The material in this lesson was very eye opening to the changes in the body especially in overtraining. I have done some altitude training myself and the hyperventilation the body goes through is rough at first. I could see how that would force the body to adapt and become more efficient in aerobic endurance exercises as a result.
I knew altitude affected endurance training adaptations, but it was interesting to learn how exactly the body adapts and how athletes implement different types of training using changes in altitude.
Overtraining is very prevalent in athletes and average gymgoers. The list of possible symptoms of overtraining is very serious and this topic needs to be talked about more so individuals are educated and taking care of their bodies properly! Very interesting video, thank you!
Great video! I found it funny when you explained how some track runners smoked cigarettes right before they would do their event and then pick it up right as they finished.
I always find it so fascinating about athletes like boxers or Mixed martial artist who go up for a specific amount of time to train in areas of high altitude, isolated away from the rest of the world to just focus on themselves and their bodies adapting to the altitude to allow them to reach their peek performance when it comes time for their bouts.
Learned so much! And so easy to understand. Okay, I got a better grip on overtraining, but more interesting to me in particular, is the use of erythropoietin, because I have had a constant battle with my blood and iron levels dipping way too low very often, and while I get iron infused intravenously, because the amount of blood in my system may be low, iron alone doesn't always do the trick. I will be looking into this option so I don't suffer through so much. This might be like gold for me!
The concept of altitude training and the different methods that can be used are so interesting! I loved the emphasis on overtraining and the role coaches play in monitoring markers and leading well by prioritizing rest!
I enjoyed learning about the different types of altitude training. It's cool to learn that living high and training low can help one train at higher intensities because they will have a lower heart rate which will lead to an increase in aerobic performance.
I never knew anything about blood doping! which is actually kind of insane. I tried donating plasma and it did not end well. I know they are a bit different but crazy someone would put their body through something like that. Thanks for the informative information Dr.Goodin!
I find it fascinating how altitude affects training. I remember my sister traveling for soccer and always saying in different states it was harder to play in because of the altitude. I knew it affected her respiratory system, but didn't realize how it affected other organs like the liver!
The idea of blood doping is definitely an interesting area of study. Although it can help with aerobic exercise performance it is not guaranteed, and if done improperly, can be dangerous.
It was really cool to learn how EPO effects the body when more of it is injected as a performance enhancer, because I have heard about blood doping before but never knew what exactly it was.
I was intrigued by the points about overtraining. I thought muscular damage and not having time to repair was the main issue that arose with overtraining, but it is interesting to consider how decreased levels of glycogen are at play. Also interesting was hearing that the testosterone to cortisol ratio plummets, resulting in greater catabolism than anabolism.
I didn't realize that training at higher altitudes lowers the heart rate so that when training back at sea level, the athlete can then train at higher intensities. So cool!
My wrestling coaches used to drive us up to a training camp to train at altitude. Even if the benefits were lost pretty fast when back on normal altitude the mental toughness was crazy.
It was great to learn about what to look how for when an athlete may be overtraining! It was also very interesting to learn more about how much altitude affects training.
I was surprised by all of the responses to overtraining. It's interesting that overtraining can even impact the athletes' mood and cause them to be irritable.
I've always been interested in living high and training low. It makes me think about why the Olympic training centers are in Colorado and how the athletes live and train there in order to have better training adaptations for when they perform at low altitudes.
It was interesting to learn about the long-term adjustments to altitude. It's crazy to see the list of aerobic overtraining but it's to make sure our athletes aren't overworking themselves as well as making sure they take the time to recover.
i thought the adaptations to altitude were interesting to hear more about. This overlaps a bit with my nutrition class as we were talking about iron levels and altitude training
In the media I feel like I always hear about blood doping and how it's bad, cheating and potentially fatal. But it wasn't till now that I really learned about it, how it is beneficial to performance with its higher hematocrit and dangerous it truly is.
We learned about blood doping in A&P. He mentioned that they'll put the RBCs in the freezer for like 6 months before reinjecting the blood back into themselves... That is crazy
That must be expensive to try and commute between the high altitude while living low. But aerobically that sounds pretty cool and the most legal way to get more out of your red blood cells. But that is crazy how overtraining is covered twice in the aerobic and anaerobic videos to show how crazy it is and how they need to rest in order to see all the hard work that they put in.
The signs of overtraining were interesting because as an athlete I sometimes find myself overtraining and should prioritize recovery. Also, we recently played in Colorado in high altitude and it was very difficult so it's interesting to know the effects altitude has on our bodies.
The endocrine responses to overtraining are very scary. It goes to show that sport and exercise aren't improved by just training harder, rather training smarter.
trying to train at altitude is so dang hard.. I went to visit my nino in Colorado and tried to get a training session in, worst decision of my life. I never felt so out of shape after 2 minutes on the stair climber
I knew that altitude could affect training in terms of making it harder on your respiratory system, however I had no idea that the liver and endocrine system were also affected so much by altitude changes!
Im from Hawaii and I remember one of my friends from high school went to school in Arizona he got altitude sickness because he didn't give his body enough time to acclimate and just stared working out as usual when he first got there.
I enjoyed how you mentioned that altitude training can enhance performance, but moving to the mountains will not automatically turn someone into a super-athlete haha.
I am always surprised at how big the effects of overtraining is on the body and all the other factors that can inhibit an athletes ability to workout to the best of their ability.
living high and training low is very interesting to me and all the good adaptations that occur through attitude training. So, does the altitude mask mimic the same type of training done in altitude?
Pro cyclists train in the Canary Islands when preparing for the tour de France. They stay at a hotel on top of the mountain snd then ride down to sea level to do intervals.
How do NBA players get acclimated to the altitude when playing in Salt Lake City or Denver? Do they just play through it? Also, I see you looking for that Netflix sponsorship loll
Great question Austin! I am not sure, but the best way to do it is to get there 7-14 days early. This is not likely possible with their competition schedule.
I really hope more young athletes start hearing the message that overtraining is a serious issue! They’re often only told to push harder and do more, so this is such important and much-needed information.

I found this video to be very interesting and actually really found the section on altitude training to be very interesting.
It seems counter intuitive that it is more beneficial to live high and train low! So fun to learn about!
It's super important to avoid overtraining because of the endocrine responses we can experience. I feel like a lot of people train to help their mental health, and if we overtrain, then we really aren't doing our mental health any good.
blood doping was really interesting, and I have never heard of that method. after you explained it though it totally makes sense how that would give an athlete an extra advantage
Altitude training and the knowledge required to successfully train in such altitudes were fun to learn about
I think the whole live high train low is so fascinating! I think its so interesting the different impacts switching where you live and train makes. Specifically, red blood cells and sickle anemia and EPO were a fascinating area. I remember learning once how this impacts African American NFL players when they play in Colorado. Wild!
It is so interesting to learn about the effects of blood doping. I remember learning about it in anatomy.
I liked that you talked about the importance of eating enough food to replenish glycogen stores so that we can be ready for the next workout

I did not know about blood doping before this video I learned a lot
The concept of altitude training and the different methods that can be used are so interesting! I loved the emphasis on overtraining and the role coaches play in monitoring markers and leading well by prioritizing rest!
Training high and living low is something we just learned about in exercise physiology.

Thank you for giving us the markers we should look at for if we suspect that our athletes are experiencing aerobic overtraining! Great video!
I remember a lot of this from either KIN3025 or 3027, but super good refresher!

I always thought of the altitude training backwards. It's very interesting that it is most effective to live high and train low.
It's important to know the markers of aerobic overtraining in order to recognize them in the athletes we work with.
I was surprised by all of the responses to overtraining. It's interesting that overtraining can even impact the athletes' mood and cause them to be irritable.
It is interesting how altitude impacts training and performance.
I think people often forget about the effects of overtraining, but they are so serious! We really do need rest and recovery.
Alright so Dr. Jacob Goodin reccomends we dope in multiple different ways Thanks!
I think it is fascinating how living high and training low will provide the most adaptations and performance benefits.
I've always been interested in living high and training low. It makes me think about why the Olympic training centers are in Colorado and how the athletes live and train there in order to have better training adaptations for when they perform at low altitudes.

When I go back home to ABQ I always am gassed the first time I try playing basketball in the altitude. It really be no joke!!
trying to train at altitude is so dang hard.. I went to visit my nino in Colorado and tried to get a training session in, worst decision of my life. I never felt so out of shape after 2 minutes on the stair climber
This puts into perspective how insane of an athlete Lance Armstrong was, amidst his blood doping.

There is a second part to the Icarus documentary that was just released last month to the film festival circuit!
Pro cyclists train in the Canary Islands when preparing for the tour de France. They stay at a hotel on top of the mountain snd then ride down to sea level to do intervals.
From the info in the video, I'm assuming that the altitude masks that used to be popular aren't very effective?
I am always curious to here about EPO because of a famous UFC fighter who popped for it, TJ dillishaw
Which video highlights effects of detraining?
Does PLNU offer online courses for Exercise science or online degrees?
Every time I come back to San Diego from a visit to Salt Lake City, I feel like I sprint a million miles.
There are many people out there that I know who do not take a true rest day. They train 7 days a week without giving their body a chance to rest!
Why don't the Colorado Avalanche and Denver Nuggets dominate at sea level?
How do NBA players get acclimated to the altitude when playing in Salt Lake City or Denver? Do they just play through it? Also, I see you looking for that Netflix sponsorship loll
Great question Austin! I am not sure, but the best way to do it is to get there 7-14 days early. This is not likely possible with their competition schedule.
That's why you'll always see pro soccer players training at higher altitudes.
why all the comments got the same vibe and style
3900 feet is 1200 yards, not 1200 meters. 1200 meters would be 4200 feet.
Genetic potential... ahhhh. Didn't choose the right parents... JK!
