In this episode of the TRX Podcast, host Nathan D'Rozario sits down with Shaun Phillips, an expert in exercise physiology and the mind behind the Environmental Human Performance Lab at the University of Edinburgh. Shaun takes us through his fascinating career journey, from his academic studies in exercise science to the groundbreaking work he’s doing in human performance research.
We dive into his work on mental fatigue and how physical and mental fatigue interact, exploring its implications for athletes, workplaces, and overall wellbeing. Shaun also shares his insights on how climate change is reshaping exercise physiology and the challenges posed by extreme environments, as well as the role of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in public health.
This episode is packed with cutting-edge insights on human performance, climate impact, and recovery—don’t miss it!
