A Sports And Exercise Physicians Take on Training and Nutrition- Dr. Marcel Jooste

Medically Inclined

Todays guest is Dr. Marcel Jooste, a Sports and Exercise physician based in SEMLI. Dr. Jooste is currently completing he’s PhD while also ensuring he keeps to his responsibilities as the Squad Physician of the South African Rowing team.
In this episode we dive deeper into the specialization of Sports and Exercise and how it has developed into the self standing field. We touch base on exercise and why it’s important for anyone to put emphasis on health. Dr Jooste believes that we are all athletes in our own right and should treat our body as the beautiful vessel that it is. Dr Jooste also discusses his role as the national rowing team physician and shared insights into methods of adaptation in exercise and how this could be achieved without reverting to illegal strategies. I believe this will be an episode worth listening to for anyone who is interested in finding out more on the life of a Sports and Exercise Physician.
