World Expert on VO2 Max, Mitochondria, & Finding Your Bottleneck

Описание: In this episode, Dr. Zain is joined by Jeroen Molinger, Senior Clinical Medical Exercise Physiologist / Tactical Systems Biologist, Duke University School of Medicine, an expert in VO2 Max and advanced performance physiology, for a fascinating and in-depth conversation about the science of human performance, cardiovascular efficiency, and metabolic flexibility. Together, they explore the intricate mechanics of oxygen delivery and utilization, discuss groundbreaking measurement technologies, and explain how VO2 Max is much more than just a number — it's a window into overall health and longevity.

🔬 Topics Covered:
What VO2 Max actually measures and why it matters
Stroke volume, cardiac output, and the full oxygenation loop
The roles of the heart, lungs, and muscles in exercise physiology
Measurement tools like NIRS and pressure transducers
The importance of mitochondrial efficiency and substrate use (fat, glucose, lactate, creatine)
How to personalize training based on physiological limitations
VO2 Max as a predictor of mortality and long-term health
Misconceptions in popular fitness metrics (like 220 - age HR max)

Whether you're a clinician, an athlete, or just a curious mind, this is your masterclass in metabolic science and the future of individualized training.
