this was very helpful. I had afib, had an successful ablation. have been a competitive athlete my whole life....I believe we can really overdue it when it comes to exercise. there has to be a happy medium.
Sleep apnea leads to physical changes to the heart. The increased number of red blood cells generated by the lack of oxygen require higher pressures to maintain flow and this results in enlarged heart valves.
Genetic could be diet followed... Still AFIB is wide spread in america and minor in other countries. Were missing something.. one.. well water has minerals.. city water bad andcwhen filtered it take menerial out
Not ALL surgeries come out great & over time alien metal screws & braces cause mis-alignment resulting in dis comfort. I’ve done my best to disassociate from the neuro-pathways yet listen to the message to pull back the demands by slowing or ending activity then allow for many forms of recovery when necessary.. My fear is to have to have a knee replacement down the road. ( left ski edge locked onto a hidden rock -09 fracture tibial plateau lateral)
Thanks, I enjoyed this interview very much. Sometimes I had to laugh, but some excellent advise for mature athletes. I'm 72 now and very happily, discovered swimming about 10 years ago and pilates more recently as my major sport activities. Diet and stress management are key, too, of course. My competition is with myself and keeping track of other swimmers in my age category. Kudos for a very informative chat :)
I’m glad you liked it. Dr Seiler is a super smart scientist who I have listened to very carefully for many years. I hope you were laughing with us (not at us).
Nice to hear from Seiler from slightly different angle. Thanks for the interview. I disagree with dangers of strength training: based on statistics they are one of the most injury-free training forms. Even high-level strength athletes tend to have just minor strains and overuse injuries, while we speak of hundreds of kilograms of weight on one's shoulders or hands. Sure at times something goes horribly wrong, but these are elite levels lifter truly knocking on their limits. Sure without understanding how to deadlift or squat there is more danger, but these movement patterns are easy to learn (not including snatch or clean) and with little practice one can keep oneself safe. If rep range is something like 5-10 then staying away from failure injury is very unlikely. Running sprints, jumping etc are far more injurious.
Thanks for the comment. I agree that even older people can slowly adapt to heavier weights as long as the skills are developed as well. It’s the older athlete who tries to do too much too soon (me!) that I worry about. But there is no arguing away the risk of lifting heavy. It’s a risk reward thing.
