Science for Sport Podcast

In episode 186 Hidde Weersma, Hyrox u24 World Champion, joins us.

Specifically Hidde will be looking at:

• What Hyrox is
• The physical demands of Hyrox
• How he trains to compete at the top

About Hidde:

"Hidde is two time world champion Hyrox (2022 & 2023) in the U24 Agegroup. Since he was 15 years old he started practising both strength and endurance (in the form of Triathlon) training. This brought him a lot of practical experience in combining training for both strength and endurance in an effective way. Hidde is very passionate about this relatively new sport called ‘Hyrox’, where both strength and endurance are essential for performance.
Outside his physical performances Hidde studied both the Bachelor and Master Human Movement Sciences at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. He now works parttime as a S&C coach at Papendal, the largest Olympic training facility in the Netherlands. In addition to this he has his own company called ‘Hidde’s High Performance Factory’, where he helps individual athletes or sport teams with S&C training, Sport Science related questions or presentations/workshops."
