6: Measuring training load with Valeriya Volkova - a podcast by Jazzy Cook
from 2021-03-08T06:00
Valeriya Volkova discusses training loads. Building on S1 E4, Valeriya looks further into how we can measure training load, current sports science research in this field, and some of the challenges in translating sport protocols in the way that they measure and quantify training load into dance. We chat about Valeriya's own research, developing and validating protocol, as well as the relevance of buy-in from teachers, students, and parents. Drawing from her research which focuses on adolescent dancers, Valeriya offers potential future applications in this area for studios.
