As I sit down with Professor Baar we jump into why a Canadian is wearing a coat in Canada and how he didn't play the national sport of Hockey.

More importantly we jump into his thoughts on how unstructured play affects athlete's abilities later in life.

Keith shares with me about some of his early research where they were trying to build machines with muscles.

As we get into the meat of our conversation Keith shares why he and many people in the exercise physiology field go into the kind of research they do.

We talk about the process of going from research to practical ways to unlock an athlete's potential.

One of the big area's of discussion from Dr. Baar's research is the effect of mTOR on our biology. We get deep into the effects and usefulness of mTOR.

Within our talk Keith shares how a Keto diet can play a very useful role for us in a specifically dangerous situation.

In the last part of my chat with Keith he does his best to educate me on the cycles of growth or activation that the body goes through.

We discuss the troubles of applying science to real application and how there are certain people with a certain set of skills that really get athletes to apply the science to their routine.

In his research Keith has talked about how cardiovascular exercise has a certain affect on the body as well as strength training a different effect. I ask him about how much work is necessary to get all of the benefits of both worlds and his answer is a little surprising.
