In episode 157, the Ph.D. candidate at Maastricht University, Bas van Hooren, joins us on the show.

Specifically, Bas will be discussing:

• Why cool-downs are performed
• Does science back up the use of cool-downs?
• How best to recover from training sessions

About Bas

“I have done a bachelor in applied sport sciences at Fontys University and a master Human Movement Sciences at Maastricht University. I’m currently persuing my PhD proposal at Maastricht University. Because of my background in applied sport sciences and my experience as an athlete and strength and conditioning specialist I developed a good understanding of practical issues. According to others I can therefore translate theoretical concepts very well into practical applications. Although some of my peer-reviewed publications include fundamental topics, I make sure to always discuss the practical applications of the findings..”
