Friday, November 11th with Dr. Stephen Seiler: Dr. Stephen Seiler is a renowned American
physiologist who currently serves as Professor in Sport Science at the University of Agder in
Kristiansand, Norway. He is a leader in the field of endurance training processes, and a lecturer
who has been featured around the world. A compelling storyteller, Dr. Seiler uses his scientific
expertise alongside an understanding of both American and European sport cultures to impart
endurance training principles within their cultural context. His work on polarized training has
helped develop the “5 training zone” (L1, L2, L3, L4, L5) and “80-20” aerobic-intensity rules
that are common nomenclature in ski training in United States skiing today. With his background
in American sport and intricate knowledge of endurance, Dr. Seiler presents on the latest
thinking in an ever-evolving field crucial to success for skiers and coaches at all levels.
