104. Doping in sports - but WHY?
In this episode, we talked about the behavioural factors at play when athletes risk so much by taking banned substances.
Very few athletes HAVENâT tested positive for drugs at some point. Of the 30 fastest men's 100m sprint times ever, only nine have been run by an athlete not banned for drugs, all by Jamaica's Usain Bolt. He holds the record for the three fastest 100m sprints in history.
A survey of US Olympians or aspiring Olympians who were asked if they would use a banned performance enhancing drug were given two scenarios:
* You wi...
103. Road safety
In this episode, we discussed a recent JABA article about road safety:
Myers, C., Zane, T., Van Houten, R. and Francisco, V.T. (2022), The effects of pedestrian gestures on driver yielding at crosswalks: A systematic replication. Jnl of Applied Behav Analysis, 55: 572-583. https://doi.org/10.1002/jaba.905
*Road safety isn't our typical 'go to' when we think of health but actually, it's pretty important when it comes to staying alive!
*I love this as another display of how behaviour analysis isn't just for autism
*Pedestrians are 1.5 times more likely to sustain fatal injuries compared to...
102. Alcohol and health goals
In this episode, we talked about whether you can drink alcohol regularly if you have a fat loss / muscle building goal.
* First and foremost, I love a drink.
* Not talking here about problem drinking
* Research is mixed.
* What is clear is that it isnât BENEFICIAL for losing fat and building muscle.
* Chronic alcohol ingestion impairs pancreatic enzyme secretion, which can lead to nutrient malabsorption, particularly of fat and protein.
* Pancreatic endocrine function can be affected
*Insulin resistance is a common side effect of alcoholism
* Alcohol consumption can alter nu...

100. Ethics for behaviour analysts... who work OUTSIDE the field of autism
In this episode, we talked about ethics in behaviour analysis and applying our code of ethics to fields outside of autism and learning disabilities.
Emily and I have chosen to apply our certification in behaviour analysis (as awarded by the BACB) to health and fitness. The certification isnât specific to any one application, itâs not an âautism certificationâ so this is entirely allowed as long as itâs within your scope of practice. Scope of practice may mean you have addition qualifications or experience in that area. In our cases, Emily is a qualified PT with exper...
99. How to get 'back on track'
Episode name: How to 'get back on track'
In this episode, we talked about how to get back on track
Ideally, thereâs no track to be on or off.
Realistically, you can get âoff trackâ.
1. Get curious not critical. Why did you fall off track? What was the antecedent? What can you do to prevent that in future?
2. Re-evaluate what your track is. Is it value driven? What are the risks associated with staying off track? Potential benefits? What will it take to get back on track? Downsides? Potent...
