Performance Intelligence Podcast

Ready to take your fitness to the next level? Measuring heart rate in the body's response to exercise is one of the easiest and most accurate ways of modifying your training program. Dr Tom Buckley returns to discuss how to use science to ensure you are optimising not just training, but also recovery and heart rate.
