Greg Whyte is an Olympian in modern pentathlon, European and World Championship medallist. He is an expert in the field of sports and exercise science. During the summit he talks about the evolving connection between health services and outdoors industry: outdoor is free, is everywhere and it is very much about health! No excuse to being inactive.

Annie Emmerson interviews Profesor Greg Whyte at the Virgin London Marathon 2011
In this exclusive video, Greg Whyte, Olympian and celebrity sports scientist, interviews Gary Mabbutt, former international footballer who has type 1 diabetes. Gary tells Greg about successfully managing his condition to achieve success in sports and about the importance of physical exercise for tackling diabetes. To mark World Diabetes Day on 14th November, Greg and Gary have made this video with The International Sweeteners Association. The video serves to educate those on the prevention of diabetes. It looks at the importance of physical activity and the role of low calorie sweeteners in the diet of people with, or at risk of diabetes.
Prof Greg Whyte OBE, former Olympian explains how people can adapt weight by using low calorie sweeteners -- and he says this is not just for obese people but also for high performing athletes. For diabetics, low calorie sweeteners bring immeasurable quality of life benefits.

Altitude: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Professor Greg Whyte explains the positive and negative impact of training at altitude on subsequent athletic development and performance. This is an area of growing research and the extant literature is presented to demonstrate the good, bad and ugly aspects of altitude training. This discussion includes an investigation into the underlying physiological processes of the adaptations, whilst making reference to endurance performance. The discussion covers how to prepare for altitude training, what the optimum level of altitude is to encourage positive training effects, how to properly monitor athlete and the importance of this. Information is also provided about how to simulate altitude training to gain the same positive effects. Speaker Biogra...
150 Years of Rowing Faster: What Are the Sources of More and More Speed? Professor Stephen Seiler discusses how rowing has a 150 yr. + competitive history and that examining results from historic races like Oxford-Cambridge (est. 1829) and the world championships (est. 1893) reveals a linear increase in boat speed by 2-3% per decade. Boat velocity increases if propulsive power is increased and/or power losses are reduced. Over time, the propulsive power capacity of elite rowers has increased. Part of this increase is a result of recruiting athletes from a population that has become taller (1-3 cm per decade) and heavier. Speaker Biography Professor Stephen Seiler (PhD FACSM earned his doctoral degree from the University of Texas, Austin, but has lived and worked in Norway for nearly ...
Endurance Sport and Cardio Vascular Health Professor Sanjay Sharma shares the fact that the cardiovascular benefits of exercise are established and individuals exercising regularly reduce their risk of adverse events from coronary artery disease by 50% and gain at least 3 additional years of life. When one considers the burgeoning epidemic of childhood obesity and its complications, exercise may be regarded as the most clinically and cost effective prescription dispensed by healthcare professionals. Speaker Biography Professor Sanjay Sharma BSc - Hons, MD, FRCP - UK, FESC, is Professor of inherited cardiac disease and sports cardiology St George's University of London. His interests include cardiovascular adaptation in athletes, sudden cardiac death in the young and heart muscle disea...
Injury Prevention and Performance – are they mutually exclusive? What does science tell us? Professor Alison McGregor shares the background to the academic journey into elite rowing performance at Imperial College, which has been evolving over the past 10-15 years. Its starting point was however, in injury prevention rather than performance enhancement, although this is clearly linked to performance. The major injury that drove this initial work was low back pain (LBP) and current research papers still noting that LBP accounts for 32% of reported injuries in elite rowers (Wilson et al 2010). Speaker Biography Professor Alison McGregor, Human Performance Group, Surgery & Cancer, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London is a trained physiotherapist with an MSc in Biomedical Engineerin...

Training in Extreme Hot and Cold Professor Mike Tipton discusses how the impact of environmental temperature and humidity on performance has largely been ignored until recent times, despite the fact that the environmental threat can result in severe impairment of performance and even death. Professor Mike Tipton explains how as physical performance is impaired in both hot and cold environments, that the challenge in these environments is to try, through various interventions, to maintain as closely as possible, elite performance. The thermal threats include: thermal discomfort detrimentally influencing concentration, dehydration, heat syncope, heat exhaustion, heat stroke, cold-induced neuromuscular dysfunction, cold injury, drowning and hypothermia. Speaker Biography Professor Mike ...
Rib Stress Fractures Dr Anders Vinther explains how a Rib Stress Fracture (RSF) is a relatively frequent, severe and well documented overuse injury in elite rowers. The incidence of RSF has been estimated to be approximately 9 %, but prospective studies with rigorous injury surveillance of larger groups of rowers are needed to confirm this. The burden of RSFs lies primarily in the severity as most reported cases needed 6-8 weeks of rest, rehabilitation and gradual return to rowing before a full return was possible. Anecdotal reports of non-union of RSF emphasize the necessity of “playing it safe” regarding a timely, symptom dependent return to training and competition. Speaker Biography Dr Anders Vinther (RPT, PhD) whilst employed as the Danish National Rowing Team Physiotherapist (19...
Cardiac Case Study Professor Henning Bay Nielsen shares how rowing produces marked changes in oxygen uptake, pulmonary ventilation, cardiac output and lactate with extreme levels for blood acid-base status and pronounced concentration of catecholamines in blood that could affect coagulation. With development of potassiaemia arrhythmia may even be developed that most often may be of supraventricular origin but sudden cardiac death is reported in rowers. Structural myocardial adaptations to intense rowing training that demands the heart to work against high pressure during the stroke need to be considered. Rare cardiac diseases such as the Brugada syndrome and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy may also provoke cardiac arrest during exercise. The latter is related to genetic ...
Oh come all you children
Don't grab that scabby hand
It belongs to Mr. Sniff and tell
It belongs to the candyman
Don't whore your little bodies
To the worms of paradise
Like Everest it's fatal
Its peaks are cold as ice
They're riding on the subways
They're riding on the streets
They'll ride you down to the gutters
They'll ride you off your feet
CHORUS
Gonna hit Crack City (Hit Crack City)
Piss on the icon monsters
Whose guitars bequeath you pain
They'll face you down to their level
With their addictions and their fast lanes
Corrupt with shaky visions
And crack and coke and alcohol
They're just a bunch of assholes
With buttholes for their brains
You can't keep on riding
The pain you know so well
They'll ride you down to the gutter
They'll ride you down to hell
CHORUS
And you the master dealer
May death be on your brow
May razors slash your mainline
I'm calling you out right now
May all your vilest nightmares
Consume your shrunken head
May the ho-ho-hounds of paranoia
Dance upon your stinking bed
Don't look at me you fuckhead
This nation's turning blue
Its stink it fouls the highways
Its filth it sticks like glue
CHORUS
They'll bury you in velvet
And place you underground
The hatred of yourself
And the sufferings that conspire
To take your little body and throw it to the fools
And the hounds that rip your flesh
Only your mind can take you out of this
Only your mind or death
I'm riding on the subway
The subway down to hell
I've finished with this journey
