Dr. Daniel Higuera - Nicotine, Sleep, and Strength vs Cardio in Firefighter Performance
This was an awesome episode for a research nerd like myself.
Dr. Daniel Higuera is an Associate Professor of Kinesiology at Santa Ana College Department of Fire Technology. Currently, he provides health and wellness services to over 20 fire and police departments in southern California.
In this episode I talked about a few of his popular posts on social media, which he's rapidly gaining popularity on. The pros and cons of nicotine usage and how much to use, strength vs cardio for firefighters and which one you should be focusing on based on your age, as well as sleep.
All of the details we spoke about can be referenced on his social media pages where he posts the research articles in his posts. He's dedicating his collegiate expertise and his experience in sports to the US Fire Service and I commend him and all the work he's doing to help us get a layman's understanding of complex topics that will ultimately help us perform better on the job, be healthier off the job and hopefully live a longer, more fulfilled life!
