Dr. Nico Kolokythas’s Webinar
How training methods, strengthening, stretching and conditioning concepts work?
Efficient methods vs risky ideas. Repetitions, periodisation, frequency etc.: basics from sports science for dancers. How to recognise pseudoscience?
Boglárka’s recommendation:
Every scientist needs outsider eyes to regularly provide critical appraisal of their professional knowledge, a partner to discuss recent scientific results and someone with whom they can respectfully debate anything. I know that I am not alone in this need. One of my most beloved debate partners is Nico. His solid scientific knowledge, humanism, strong ethics have helped me many times to better formulate my opinion, locate better references, and argue more logically. We disagree on various questions, but we agree on quality, transparency and on the importance of reliable information. We both stand for anti-abusive dance environments, especially in education. If I would like to upgrade my knowledge on sports science, training methods, and strength conditioning, Nico would be one of my first choices to ask for guidance as to the right direction. If you want to learn how to make the best choices about your strength training, stamina and conditioning, what are trustworthy online information sources and what is junk sport science, if you would like to build up skills to solve difficult problems like staying in shape in home isolation or quarantine, Nico’s webinar is for you. Enjoy and get stronger together.
