@SMCollinsPhD @NSCA Thank you, Sean!

@Jenfields521 @NSCA Congratulations

feeling so blessed and honored. thank you @NSCA

Love getting to talk about this research 🫶 uconn360.podbean.com/e/episode-132-…

What Should Be on Your Plate? Student Athletes Don’t Know. A new UConn Nutritional Sciences study by Jennifer Fields reveals major gaps in athletes' knowledge about proper fueling for health & performance. today.uconn.edu/2025/02/what-s… Photo by Christian Tenguan on Unsplash

✴️Nutrition education interventions focusing on general nutrition concepts and sport-related fueling strategies are needed for adolescent athletes✴️ @AJagim @dr_mtjones8 👏

🚨Newest pub assessing individual variation in athlete workloads across a season @dr_mtjones8 @AJagim

New 👏 Pub 👏 @MegKMagee @AJagim @dr_mtjones8 @JSCRonline

Honored to have contributed 2 chapters to @NSCA's newest edition textbook with @dr_mtjones8 @AJagim

Proud of you @kuhlmanick! Your hard work and dedication is well recognized by this research excellence scholarship!

Dr. Jennifer Fields in the Department of Nutritional Sciences gave a guest lecture on nutrition in athlete performance in Dr. Ji-Young Lee's Concepts of Nutrition course Graduate students joining the department this fall learn skills that they need to succeed in their program!

In Dr. Clinton Mathias' First Year Experience - Nutritional Sciences Community course, guest speaker, Dr. Jennifer Fields gave an intuitive presentation on the importance of nutrition in performance optimization of athletes!

Newest pub out! "These findings can help practitioners better interpret RMR values to classify an athlete with a low, moderate, or high RMR when compared to other athletes and how these values may subsequently influence BF%." @AJagim @dr_mtjones8

Newest pub out! "Significant disparities in absolute external load parameters were observed among SOC, LAX, and FH, challenging the conventional grouping of these sports as “field sports” and highlighting their unique match workload profiles." @dr_mtjones8 @AJagim @kuhlmanick

📊This study shows a strong link between external loads and sRPE-load, supporting the use of sRPE-load as a practical tool to estimate workload in soccer players⚽️ ✍️Nicholas M. Kuhlman, Margaret T. Jones, et al. 🔓#OpenAccess🔗 termedia.pl/Relationships-…

Calling all runners for a study on collagen peptides! Please email if interested in learning more.

Calling all of your nutritional supplement papers for this special issue! @AJagim @nutrients

"85.7% of our college MGYM athletes exhibited LEA (20.98 ± 5.2 kcals/kg FFM), with non-LEA athletes (n = 2) marginally surpassing the <30 kcal/kg of fat-free mass (FFM) threshold (30.58 ± 0.2 kcals/kg FFM)." Great work @kuhlmanick 👏

CONGRATS @kuhlmanick !! Very much deserved and extremely proud. Looking forward to getting started on our research examining the effects of collagen peptides on bone metabolism in women runners 🦴🏃‍♀️👩‍🔬
