Welcome to Perform with Dr. Andy Galpin

This is Perform with Dr. Andy Galpin.  I'm Dr. Andy Galpin, a
professor of kinesiology at California State University, Fullerton.
With this podcast, my goal is to help you better understand and
maximize your own physical performance, leveraging my two decades
of experience with top-tier performers, including Olympians and
world champions across numerous sports. We'll discuss a range of
advanced tools, technologies, and strategies, striking a balance
between the forefront of scientific research and simple solutions.
The way we'll do that is by covering what I call the "3 I's". For
every topic, we'll explore how to 1) Investigate (i.e., measure),
2) Interpret (i.e., what's good, bad), and 3) Intervene (i.e.,
change). We'll do this from the lens of high performance, letting
you enhance your abilities from good to
great.           
                       
In the upcoming episodes of Season 1, we'll explore topics like the
science of muscle development, how to build endurance, the role of
sleep and recovery in high performance, and how to create training
programs for strength, improving VO2 Max and cardiovascular health,
growing muscle and much more.   I'll share actionable
insights ("do's and don'ts") and I'll discuss the effectiveness of
various supplements, training equipment, and technology in
elevating mental and physical performance. While not all of us are
elite athletes, myself included, there are many lessons and tools
that we can glean from those performing at the highest levels. And
remember, as legendary coach Bill Bowerman stated, "If you have a
body, you are an athlete." If you're not already, I hope you'll
consider starting to train and recover like an athlete.  Stay
