Offroad Performance Coach Podcast
Ep 17 Alan Pearce PHD - Strength, Stability, Concussion
This week we sat down with Alan Pearce, a Neurology expert who completes research in the role of our brain (Central Nervous System/CNS) in various areas including it’s role in strength production, skill acquisition, and also concussion related injuries!
In this podcast we bust some myths and drop some knowledge bombs on these topics and more;
Does getting strong make you bulky? Do you need more muscle mass to get stronger?
Taking a holistic approach to athletic preparation in and out of the gym.
Training on unstable surfaces…. Bosu Balls! Do they fire up all those MOTO Muscles like some people say…? Do you recruit more muscle when on an unstable surface??
Concussion. The invisible injury every Moto rider has experienced atleast once. How to manage it, and how helmets actually provide zero protection for our brain!
