James and Dr. Andrew Usher discuss the importance of conditioning in combat sports and debunk some common misconceptions. They emphasize the need to consider intensity and substrate utilization in training, rather than focusing on isolated energy systems. Dr. Usher shares insights from his research on oxygen kinetics and the differences between training modalities. They also discuss the role of heart rate and kinetics in assessing conditioning and optimizing recovery.
