SUMMARY:Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Register \nSpeaker: Alex Gonzalez\, Stanford University \nFinding the Impulse: Measuring the Endurance Training Response Curve from Wearable Data \nAbstract:\nHow will today’s workout affect your performance in the days that follow? Traditional approaches model performance as fitness minus fatigue\, typically relying on a single metric like distance to represent training load. We extend current models of training response with a data-driven framework that estimates training response given not only training load\, but also heat and altitude adaptations and activity covariates like route and time of day. Using 2.5 years of smartwatch data from 200 runners\, we isolate how both light and heavy training affect subsequent performance – defined as heart rate for a given speed. For example\, we found a long-lasting aerobic benefit and a short-term 2-day performance penalty from high heart rate sessions. Finally\, we propose a framework for adding other signals\, such as sleep\, to better monitor an athlete’s changing physiological condition and optimize training. \nSpeaker: Yu Song\, Kansas University\nACL Injury: Looking Beyond the Knee \nAbstract:\nAnterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most common and serious knee injuries in sports. While often thought of as a “knee injury\,” the story does not stop at the knee. In fact\, most ACL injuries happen without direct contact to the knee itself. Video studies report that in about 8–60% of cases\, athletes experienced contact involving the trunk just before or around the time of injury. This presentation will highlight current evidence on how trunk motion and unexpected mid-air trunk perturbations affect lower-limb biomechanics during landing and change-of-direction movements\, two situations commonly associated with ACL injury. \n\nAbout the Seminar Series\nThe seminar series features speakers from across the institutions that make up the Alliance\, covering topics related to our mission of uncovering the principles of performance and translating them to improved performance and care of athletes and all people. \nThe goal of the seminar series is to foster scientific exchange and the formation of new research collaborations through a set of research talks that are clear and compelling to researchers from a broad range of fields. \nPlease contact humanperformance@stanford.edu with any questions.

SUMMARY:Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Register \nSpeaker: Vahidullah (Vahid) Tac\, Stanford University \nGenerative AI for food formulation: Designing healthy\, sustainable\, and delicious burgers \nAbstract:\nOur food choices impact both human health and the environment\, yet creating foods that are simultaneously tasty\, nutritious\, and sustainable is difficult. This research shows that generative AI can learn patterns of human taste from large recipe datasets and design new foods. Using burgers as a case study\, our model independently rediscovers the Big Mac and generates burgers optimized for taste\, sustainability\, or nutrition. The burgers optimized for taste matched or outperformed the Big Mac in a blinded survey with 101 participants\, while its sustainable and nutritious versions achieved substantially better environmental and health scores. We also demonstrate that the generation process can be personalized by tailoring recipes to an individual’s sex\, age\, weight\, and physical activity level. This capability could be particularly valuable for athletes\, for whom individualized nutrition planning is essential. \nSpeakers: Francisco Valero-Cuevas and Martino Porcu\, University of Southern California – Los Angeles\nLeg Dexterity Training Reduces Drop-Test Dynamic Valgus in Amateur Women Athletes: A Pilot Study \nAbstract:\nTBC \n\nAbout the Seminar Series\nThe seminar series features speakers from across the institutions that make up the Alliance\, covering topics related to our mission of uncovering the principles of performance and translating them to improved performance and care of athletes and all people. \nThe goal of the seminar series is to foster scientific exchange and the formation of new research collaborations through a set of research talks that are clear and compelling to researchers from a broad range of fields. \nPlease contact humanperformance@stanford.edu with any questions.

DESCRIPTION:Register \nSpeaker: Gauri Desai\, Stanford University\nMetabolic and Bone Health in Female Endurance Runners: The Role of Training Load and Nutrition \nAbstract:\nTBD \nSpeakers: Trent Stellingwerff and Kristy Popp\, The Women’s Health\, Sports & Performance Institute\nAn Oarsome Endeavor: Field-based energy availability assessments in 46 elite rowers to inform health and performance\n \nAbstract:\nThis presentation will highlight findings from one of the largest field-based studies examining energy availability (EA) in Tier 4–5 (elite and world-class) Olympic rowers during an 18-day altitude training camp. Using best-practice measurements of energy intake\, exercise energy expenditure\, and physiological outcomes\, alongside hormone assessment via saliva\, urine\, and venous blood sampling\, the study provides a comprehensive evaluation of athlete adaptation. Despite high training loads and day-to-day fluctuations in EA\, athletes maintained optimal average EA and demonstrated favorable hematological\, hormonal\, and performance adaptations\, offering practical insights into nutritional monitoring and athlete support during intensified training. \n\nAbout the Seminar Series\nThe seminar series features speakers from across the institutions that make up the Alliance\, covering topics related to our mission of uncovering the principles of performance and translating them to improved performance and care of athletes and all people. \nThe goal of the seminar series is to foster scientific exchange and the formation of new research collaborations through a set of research talks that are clear and compelling to researchers from a broad range of fields. \nPlease contact humanperformance@stanford.edu with any questions.
