In this 2nd of 2 episodes we chat with Dr Sacha Fulton PhD – an ESSA accredited sports scientist who works with elite athletes from Perth. Sacha talks about her experience with altitude training at Mt Everest base camp and some key points when working with athletes doing altitude training.
She also shares some insights into the physiological monitoring of altitude training and optimal training camp duration. We also get some insight into specific dietary supplementation used at altitude and the use of environmental chambers at the WAIS.
Sacha also talks about 4 pieces of innovative technology which have changed the game in sports science in the last 3-5 years and some specific consultant business roles available for sports scientists in industry and education.
