What is Unexplained Underperformance Syndrome in Endurance Athletes?
In this month's AISTS Sports Medicine podcast Joana Cal and Michael Broadley discuss Unexplained Underperformance Syndrome (UPS) in endurance athletes. Namely, what is it and why does it occur? To do this, they kick off with a short role-play to highlight symptoms of UPS before delivering more in-depth details on both the physiological manifestations and psychological aspects. From there, you can learn of how UPS differs from other forms of fatigue associated with endurance sport and how best to manage/heal from UPS.
