Endurance Innovation 57 – Notio Aerometer and Swearing

18 Jun Endurance Innovation 57 – Notio Aerometer and Swearing

Andrew and Michael cover the performance enhancing effects of swearing and the Notio Aerometer. We are NOT swearing AT the Notio Aerometer. Just to be clear.

• 1:00 study on effects of swearing on perception of pain found that uttering the word ‘fuck’ during an ice-water submergence trial allowed participants to last 30% longer than those using control words.
• 6:30 cross-cultural study comparing the efficacy of swearing in English and Japanese speakers
• 14:45 listener challenge
• 16:00 Notio Aerometer initial impressions
  • The CdA calculator / aero test protocol on the Notio app
  • Repeatability in testing appears to be solid
  • Displayed CdA during a workout is not very actionable at this point
• 33:30 discussion of limitations of any aero sensor
• 38:45 virtual wind tunnel analysis vs an on-bike aero sensor: virtual for development and testing and real-world for validation

The two studies mentioned in the show are included below.
