    Beyond the VO2 max: the role of self-belief in elite athletic performance
    (2011) Noakes, Tim
    In the past Prof. Tim Noakes was convinced that physiology could explain performance. After 38 years of studying the human body, he now believes that the mind, and the role of self-belief, are crucial factors in human athletic feats. In January 2008, Noakes presented this lecture entitled “Beyond the VO2 max: The role of self-belief in elite athletic performance” at Croke Park Stadium, Dublin. This lecture explores how success in sports ranging from extreme cold water swimming to World Cup rugby are linked by a common thread - the role of self-belief.

    Time to move beyond a brainless physiology
    (2011) Noakes, Tim
    According to Noakes, not enough people are looking at the bigger picture that the body does not function in discrete and unconnected apartments.He argues that too much of exercise physiology concentrates on the body’s reflexive automatic response to stimuli of shutting down close to the point of collapse. Exercise is a complex behavior that is regulated by a complex system. In this talk, Prof Noakes seeks to include the brain as a factor in exercise physiology. He starts with the classical teachings in exercise physiology and continues by looking at various models such as the A.V. Hill model and the peripheral model.
