"The exercise tolerance symposium held at Chelsea School, my alma mater, was a resounding success, bringing together a large number of expert speakers and an attentive and enthusiastic audience. I was fortunate enough to see the symposium from both sides, as a delegate and as a speaker on the second day.
The first day was largely focused on exercise and health. Topics covered included the critical power concept in both health and disease, inspiratory muscle function as a limiting factor in exercise performance (which would have been controversial a decade ago, but is more widely accepted now) and vascular function as a marker of health status. Both days had a good mix of practical demonstrations, small group discussions and keynote lectures.
My role was to present our findings on the effect of “warm-up” exercise on exercise tolerance, and to present some more recent work investigating the use of all-out exercise to establish critical power. Both presentations involved live practical demonstrations, which bought the issues to life much more than they would have done normally. These presentations complemented keynote lectures and demonstrations by Prof. Andy Jones, Drs David Bishop and Jamie Pringle, who tackled the mechanistic bases to critical power and oxygen uptake kinetics.
Socially, it was a pleasure to share the company of my former mentors (Prof. Jo Doust and Andy Jones) and friends from times past (too numerous to mention), although I have probably reinforced the opinion that I’ll do anything for a beer (including stepping to do an exhaustive ramp test at 10 am the next day). Overall, it was 2 days very well spent."

"Well organised, relaxed environment to learn etc, social side well catered for, excellent with the demonstrations etc added a different dimension to the typical presentation and symposia which often say they are going to have discussions etc but which never transpire."
