Industry Presented Webinar | Internal and External Load - Monitoring Strategies for Recovery and Strength throughout the Season       

1 CEC

Sponsored by: Gatorade Sports Science Institute

Course Description:  

Monitoring training load and the athlete’s response to it may help optimize the athlete’s health, adaptations and readiness while potentially reducing the risk of injury during training and competition. Personalized load- monitoring approaches make sense because of the variability of training and competition demands across sports and positions. The time-course of recovery following competition varies by sport and experience of the athlete. Understanding your sport’s time-course of recovery is important for deciding when and how to monitor your athletes, and identifying behavior modification strategies based on internal and external load characteristics may help improve recovery across the competitive season. 

Learning objectives: 

After participation, attendees should be able to: 

1. Differentiate between internal and external load stressors on the athlete,
2. Understand the importance of individualized differences, and 
3. Thoroughly review potential behaviors that mitigate recovery. 

Presented by Eric Freese, Ph.D.

Eric Freese, Ph.D., earned his master’s and doctoral degrees in exercise physiology from the University of Georgia and is currently a principal scientist and lead of the GSSI satellite laboratory at the Baylor, Scott, and White Sports Performance Center in Frisco, Texas. Freese joined GSSI in 2018, having previously worked on the PepsiCo nutrition science team. His research has ranged from assessing metabolic and physiological responses to high-intensity interval training to scrutinizing the purported mental and physiological benefits of phytonutrient supplementation. His interests focus on optimizing the recovery period to translate to increased performance capabilities.

Industry Presented Webinar: How to Effectively Communicate the Science Behind Performance with your Athletes

1 CEC

Sponsored by: Gatorade Sports Science Institute (GSSI)

The science of exercise and nutrition is often difficult to translate and challenging to suggest how to apply this science practically. The aim of this presentation is to educate on best practices for sharing science effectively with your target audience of athletes.

Learning Objectives:  

• Identify what effective communication means
• Identify barriers in effectively communicating the science
• Identify some effective strategies on how to share scientific information without putting a barrier between you and your athletes
• Identify how to communicate why recommendations are effective for reasons beyond the science 

Presented by Kevin Luhrs

Kevin Luhrs is an Associate Principal Scientist at the GSSI satellite lab at IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL.  His primary responsibility includes leading the GSSI Athlete Service Team.  Kevin earned his BS at the University of Nebraska in Nutrition Science and Dietetics while playing football as a defensive lineman for the Cornhuskers.  He then went on to undergo his Dietetic Internship through the Baptist Health System in San Antonio, TX before becoming a Registered Dietitian in 2009.  Shortly after going back to Nebraska to work as a volunteer Sports RD for football, Kevin became the Team Sports Dietitian and Assistant Strength Coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2010. He worked closely with the players, coaches, and support staff while pioneering the Buccaneer’s first Sport Nutrition Program over 9 seasons. With the Bucs, his duties included the coordination of all meals and snacks for all players at home and on the road, instructing players what to eat based on their goals and timing of competition for optimal performance and recovery, and the heavy involvement in hydration strategies. A big focus of Kevin’s research during this time was the possible correlation of body composition on player risk of injury. He also served as one of the Senior Leaders for the NFL RDs and worked diligently with the NFL and NFLPA on Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) amendments.  Also during this time, he earned his MS in Applied Exercise Science from Concordia University Chicago. Outside of work life, Kevin likes to spend time with his wife, go to movies, travel, and lift weights.
