In this episode, I speak with Dr Nattai Borges of Newcastle University and Dr Tom Doering of Bond University about the influence of training in Masters Athletes and why recovery is so important. Nattai outlines findings from his paper: Age-related changes in physical and perceptual markers of recovery following high-intensity interval cycle exercise which was published in Experimental Ageing and Research (2017; 10.1080/0361073X.2018.1477361), while Tom discusses his paper: Lower Integrated Muscle Protein Synthesis in Masters Compared with Younger Athletes, which was published in 2016 in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise (doi: 10.1249/MSS.0000000000000935).
