Episode Synopsis

In this episode of First to 15, we're joined by Supriya Nair, who fences with the Rain City Fencing Center in Washington state. Supriya had always heard from her coaches that pre-bout warmups were important, but — being the curious future scientist that she is — she wondered if there was any quantitative data to prove it. So she set out to investigate this for herself — using special equipment to test that hypothesis. The result was an award-winning experiment she calls Neurofencing.See the Backyard Brains article about Neurofencing about Supriya's researchVisit the USA Fencing websiteFollow USA Fencing on InstagramRead a transcript for this episodeFirst to 15: The Official Podcast of USA FencingHost: Bryan WendellCover art: Manna CreationsTheme music: Brian Sanyshyn
