Videos of Professor Brian Whipp and Professor Karl Wasserman Lecturing
Many of you may never have had the opportunity to see Professor Karl Wasserman or Professor Brian Whipp lecturing. The link below takes you back to the 2008 Practicum in Oporto, Portugal. It features Karl introducing the meeting, followed by Brian presenting his lecture, “The Physiological Basis of Exercise Performance.”
Karl was a Professor of Medicine at the then Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, while Brian was an outstanding physiologist. The two worked closely together for many years and made significant contributions to our understanding of exercise physiology and exercise intolerance.
At the time of this meeting, the society was known as ISEIRE — the International Society for Exercise Intolerance Research and Education, a name that Karl particularly favoured.
These recordings provide a wonderful opportunity to see two remarkable figures in our field sharing their knowledge and expertise.
The link below is Karl’s lecture “Pathophysiology Limiting Exercise”
