Is nasal breathing better for running? David 'Jacko' Jackson, former professional rugby player forced to retire in 2013 due to traumatic brain injury, recently ran up & down Mount Snowdon 6 times in 24 hours. He also ran a 216km Ultra Marathon, breathing just through his nose. In this episode of Runchatlive Podcast, he discusses how efficient functional breathing using the nose instead of the mouth can be key in not just recovery from brain injury but also improving athletic performance.  With 316 appearances for Nottingham RFC, and 102 tries across a career of 13 years, David 'Jacko' Jackson was forced to retire in 2013 due to ‘TBI’ - Traumatic Brain Injury. Re–training as a Strength & Conditioning Coach, David co-founded the School of Calisthenics, became a Master Instructor with the Oxygen Advantage, and founded ProBreathwork.com.

And so we reach the final part of our 'SLEEP AWARENESS MONTH' on the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, being uploaded also to this Runchatlive Podcast. My special guest is Dr Amy M Bender, Director of Clinical Sleep Science at Cerebra, talking about 'In-Home Polysomnography' and sharing the results of my recent five week sleep study using the Cerebra Sleep System. What is In-Home Polysomnography? The most comprehensive form of sleep study currently available requires going to a sleep-lab. However, for many the sleeping environment is unnatural and equipment uncomfortable. A popular alternative is the ‘Home Sleep Apnea Test’ (HSAT), which though convenient only measures breathing and respiratory functions, not sleep quality. Enter the ‘Cerebra Sleep System‘ – an in-home, self applied polysomnogram (PSG) that provides the quality diagnostics of an in-lab study with the convenience of Home Sleep Apnea Testing.

For those of you who like the nitty gritty, Cerebra Sleep System uses the patented algorithm Odds Ratio Product (ORP) that micro analyses the Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal providing a continuous measure of sleep depth, moving beyond conventional scoring methods to dig deeper into brain activity.

The Cerebra Sleep System can measure brain waves (EEG), eye movement (EOG), respiratory data, leg and body movements, pulse oximetry, and heart rate (ECG).

My Five Week Sleep Study using ‘Cerebra Sleep System’ My personal five week sleep study included:

• Electroencephalography (EEG/brain waves).
• Electrooculography (EOG/eye movements).
• Electromyography (EMG/electrical activity of chin muscle).
• Daily reaction time tests to track performance.
• Questionnaires on perceived sleep quality, disturbances during the night.
• Tracking of daily exercise & use of electronics before bedtime.

In this podcast episode, topics discussed included:

• What are the benefits but also limitations of common consumer wearables like Fitbit and Oura ring?
• How does the Cerebra In-Home Polysomnogram Sleep System differ from the above?
• How useful is the data regarding the different stages of sleep, e.g. REM, N-REM, Deep Sleep, etc.?
• How did Matt Phillips find sleeping with the Cerebra headset on?
• How useful was it being held accountable each day by filling in questionnaires? 
• What was Matt's Sleep Study expecting to find by removing caffeine consumption after week one?
• A look at the results from Matt's five week Sleep Study including: - General Insights (sleep efficiency, sleep latency, reported sleep quality, and more) - Actual sleep time per night - Amount of waking up after going to sleep - Effect of removing caffeine: evening sleepiness, reaction time, attention lapses
• Take home messages from the study & Sleep Awareness Month

In this episode, I am joined by special guest Dr Jonathan Charest, Director of Athlete Sleep Services at The Centre for Sleep & Human Performance, in Calgary, Canada. Dr Charest, a published scientific author in the field of sleep research, discusses the impact sleep quality/quantity can have on athletic performance, cognition, health, and mental well-being. He also talks about the role of sleep in reducing risk of injury, and how by delivering education, screening tools, and research-based strategies we can help establish healthy sleep for athletes throughout their career.

Topics discussed include:

• Has there been an increase in our understanding of the relationship between sleep and athletic performance over the last few years?
• Do athletes sleep worse than non athletic population?
• Does going to bed earlier the night before early morning training help?
• How relevant are Circadian Rhythms and Chronotypes when it comes to working with athletes?
• Are potential future elite athletes slipping through the net because of insufficient sleep?
• Do elite athletes for different sports tend to be of the same chronotype?  
• What are some ways we can help athletes who are suffering from inadequate sleep?
• How useful are sleep trackers and wearables to athletes?
• How much of a factor is the type of sport when it comes to sleep inadequacy?
• Can athletes 'bank' sleep hourse and if so how long do saved hours last?

• What strategies can we give to athletes to help them improve their sleep?

In Part 2 of this month's 'SLEEP AWARENESS MONTH' on the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, we talk about 'Sleep Trackables' with special guest Dr Olivia Walch, CEO of Arcascope, a company that develops science-backed apps to help people fix their sleep and circadian rhythms. With an estimated one in three people in the UK reporting regular sleep complaints, it is not surprising that sleep trackers have become enormously popular over the last few years. On waking up, our faithful Fitbit, Oura Ring or Withings Sleep Analyzer (to name just three) will inform you of the quantity & quality of your night's sleep, but just how accurate are they? Can the information these consumer sleep wearables provide be put to good use, or are they just another modern day gadget causing dependency and anxiety? Special guest Dr Olivia Walch takes us through such questions to see how marketing claims hold up under the scrutiny of science, and discusses what role they can play in improving sleep health.

Topics discussed include:

• What is the difference between sleep trackers and sleep wearables?
• How long have sleep trackers/wearables been used to assess sleep quanitity/quality?
• How has the technology in sleep wearables changed over time?
• How do scoring algorithms work?
• How accurate are popular sleep wearables from Garmin, Fitbit, Oura Ring, etc?
• Can popular consumer sleep wearables measure stages of sleep? 
• What is the relationship like between sleep researchers and consumer brands for wearables?
• If we see clients/patients are wearing sleep trackers, what sort of conversations should we be having with them?
• Can sleep trackers cause 'orthosomnia' - the obsession for 'perfect' sleep?
• Using sleep wearables to measure sleep consistency.
• Controlling light exposure: one of the easiest & most accessible ways to improve sleep quality/quanity

Visit a massage therapist and chances are you will be told you have muscle knots and maybe even 'Trigger Points'. Much of the therapist's work will strive to 'undo' these knots, maybe using 'Trigger Point Therapy'. But how much evidence is there that these knots are responsible for pain. What effect does 'releasing' them have? As runners, can we benefit from such 'release'?

Ep.52 of Run Chat Live Podcast brings you the undisputed forefather of putting evidence back into therapeutical care - Mr Paul Ingraham. If you are as yet aware of Paul Ingraham’s work via painscience.com, formerly known as saveyourself.ca, then buckle yourself in for an episode that is going to change your life. Though taste is obviously a personal thing, as far as writing style, humour & educational skills go, Paul Ingraham is still after many, many years one of Run Chat Live's TOP RECOMMENDATIONS for clinicians (and patients) looking to open the door to becoming more evidence based.

Check out Paul’s book about trigger points and muscle pain. That's behind a paywall, but there's also a long free article about trigger point science and controversies, and an introduction to basic trigger point therapy.

Regarded by many as the important contributor to running related research over the past 40 years, Dr. Benno Nigg is Founder & director of the Human Performance Laboratory at the University of Calgary, a multi-disciplinary Research Center concentrating on the study of the human body and its locomotion. He has received many awards and recognitions, including the Olympic Order, honorary degrees from the Universities of Salzburg and Innsbruck and an honorary professorship from the University of Shanghai.

In this episode of Runchatlive, he will be discussing the SCIENCE behind modern running shoes. What role have shoes truly played in the performance explosion we have witnessed since Eliud Kipchoge became the first man to break two hours for the marathon. 2019 also brought us twice as many men running under 2:10 and twice as many women under 2:27 compared to 2016. Eight of the twelve fastest men’s marathons in history have been run in the last year. How much of a factor has this new breed of shoe played? And more importantly, what is it in the shoe that could have made this possible?

With over 25,000 publications on human locomotion, in particular with relation to products such as orthoses, shoe insoles, sport shoes, surfaces and sport equipment, Dr. Nigg will be giving us an inside look at his latest study that appeared this August in the British Journal of Sports Medicine: 'The teeter-totter effect: A new mechanism to understand shoe-related improvements in long-distance running.'

An incredible hour, thank you once again Dr. Benno Nigg for giving us his time.
