3:30 academic papers in the time of COVID How can we see so many studies with such fast turn-around times when it typically takes months to get a paper published Utility overrides rigor in some cases 16:00 the fluid mechanics of disease transmission 17:30 Sean’s thoughts on the now-famous Dutch / Belgian analysis of COVID spread during running and cycling as published on Medium. 20:30 the risks of transmission when training indoor vs outdoor Outdoors, there is a lot of air mixing, diluting the concentration of viral particles in the airflow Indoors, the air is stagnant and transmission is much easier 28:00 Sean’s study of the efficacy of athlete cooling in hot and humid environments Subjects cycled at 60-70% of FTP under 30C and 70% humidity for 45 minutes Cooling accomplished by exposing the inner forearm to a temperature of 5C Test group saw a mitigation in core body temperature rise by 0.5C / hou compared with control group RPE also lower under cooled conditions vs control 43:00 the possible difference in the effect of cooling between males and females 46:30 the reason why repeated tests are not common in engineering or physiology Funding and publishing incentives discourage non-novel studies 51:00 Michael’s least favourite experimental setup 52:45 DRDC study torture story 54:00 academic funding A link to the poster covering the study findings can be found here.
