The Framework Podcast

Introducing an exciting new mini-series titled "I am a published author" within the Framework Podcast, where we explore peculiar research publications that are both “thought-provoking” in a way that you may not be expecting but for the very least entertaining! This mini-series perfectly aligns with our podcast's overarching mission, which seeks to address the abundance of scientific content in both the public sphere and academic publishing, focusing specifically on guiding our listeners can approach such incremental published work as critical-thinkers. The health and fitness community is oversaturated with misinformation and wayward advice that leaves many struggling to find the correct and simple knowledge for their health and fitness journey. In the Framework Podcast, hosted by post-doctoral researcher Dr. Katarina Miteva and WorldTour Cycling sports chiropractor Dr. Martin Kumm, we aim to merge decades of academic and clinical knowledge to create a framework for solving common problems athletes or health-orientated people may encounter. The framework for better performance will be laid down through 5 pillars: Athleticism, Biomechanics, General Health, Recovery and Nutrition.  Join our hosts, Martin and Kat, as they expertly dissect and question the hypothesis, research findings, and validity of a research paper exploring the causal relationship between low back pain and dried fruit intake. Can an increased consumption of dried fruit truly provide protection against low back pain?

Join us in today's episode as we delve into cardiovascular fitness - a crucial aspect of the first pillar of the Framework - Athleticism. Our hosts, Martin and Kat, science enthusiasts, unravel several studies highlighting the intricate relationship between cardiorespiratory markers and mortality risk, such as VO2 max. But wait, there's more! We'll also reveal the surprising truth about the widely used MET values in research, and why they may not be relevant to female athletes. As we dive deeper into the complexities of cardiovascular training, we ask the thought-provoking question: Can too much of a good thing be bad? You'll discover the latest research that uncovers the delicate balance between volume vs. intensity and how it may affect the health of our blood vessels. And, if that's not enough, Martin, an elite sport chiropractor and lifelong athlete, provides practical tips for optimal health and performance. Don't miss out on this exciting episode!

In today’s fast paced society we have less and less time to develop important skills such as reading scientific literature, critical thinking and analysis of complex information. That’s why in Episode 1 (General Health), we focus on the often forgotten skill of reading research papers, the bread and butter of what our hosts do and the solid foundation of this podcast series. In this episode, you will learn from our hosts how to approach reading a scientific paper for maximum efficiency and knowledge acquisition, advice on how to gain expertise in a certain scientific field of your interest, and finally, easy and actionable tips on how to keep up with ever-growing cutting edge literature. The health and fitness community is oversaturated with misinformation and wayward advice that leaves many struggling to find the correct and simple knowledge for their health and fitness journey.
