Episode 15 – Incorporation of 30s sprints into your endurance ride, Dr Nicki Winfield Almquist interview.

In this episode I interview Dr Nicki Winfield Almquist who is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. We discuss one of his publications ‘The Effect of 30-Second Sprints During Prolonged Exercise on Gross Efficiency, Electromyography, and Pedaling Technique in Elite Cyclists’ published in the International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance. https://journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/ijspp/15/4/article-p562.xml. This paper is one of the studies in his PhD and thus our discussion does expand to include some of his other work.
