Today’s episode features Dr. Keith Baar, a world expert in collagen and researcher at University of California Davis.  Professor Baar is a rare combination of strength coach and muscle biologist, receiving his PhD from the University of Illinois where he discovered the molecular signal that causes load-induced muscle hypertrophy.  Keith is currently the head of the Functional Molecular Biology Laboratory (FMBLab). Over the last 20 years, Keith has worked with elite athletes, and has been the scientific advisor to Chelsea Football Club, USA Track and Field, Paris Saint-Germain, British Cycling, and the Denver Broncos.  He also spent time as a strength coach with the University of Michigan football team.  Keith’s current work is focused on how loading protocols and nutrition alter tendon/ligament/extracellular matrix health and performance. Collagen remodeling is one of the most important emerging topics in manual therapy and athletic performance.  To that end, Dr. Keith Baar is a leading researcher on the science of tissue mechanics and physical training.  Whether you are looking at rehabbing injured tendons, determining the best course of training for avoiding muscle strains, or getting better elastic performance in healthy athletes, this is an incredible and information dense podcast.
