In this 1 of 2 episodes we chat with Dr Sacha Fulton PhD – an ESSA accredited sports scientist who works with elite athletes from Perth. Sacha talks about her experience working with Paralympic and Olympic athletes, multidisciplinary teamwork in elite sports, acute to chronic workload ratios, fatigue risk management, overtraining, heart rate variability and blood flow restriction training.
