First PhD study published in @JPhysiol Whey protein + dual-source carbs ↑ amino acid availability without compromising post-exercise liver glycogen resynthesis. Huge thanks @Hearris @MagneticDr_K @nathanhodson5 @JamesyMorton Read here doi.org/10.1113/JP2884…

tinyurl.com/5ddcczk7 An update on evidence-based protein requirements and recommendations for endurance athletes in @sportsmedicine. A thoroughly enjoyable task over the summer with @_PaulMorgan @Hearris @dytaslidevrim & an excellent review process #protein #endurance

@ChrisKirk_ASP Nice work Chris!

Summary: MMA is a high-intensity aerobic endurance event that is performed in the aerobic-anaerobic transition zone. If you are not doing aerobic endurance training then *you are not prepared for fighting*. So get those running shoes on, or get on that rower/bike & do the work!

MMA fighters did a VO2max test 🏃& a 3x5min sparring bout 🥊🥋🤼‍♀️ VO2max test was conducted via treadmill with breath-by-breath gas analysis to record VO2max, VT1, and VT2.

Our recent @IJSNEMJournal paper provides evidence that ingested glucose oxidation correlates with body size Inferences: Body size is the only factor - ❌ Body size is the most important factor- ❌ Body size is an important factor - ✅ doi.org/10.1123/ijsnem…

Do larger athletes require more carbs during exercise? We might think this is obvious right? But is it actually the case? “Why think? Do the experiment!” (John Hunter) Our latest paper in @IJSNEMJournal reports on this experiment doi.org/10.1123/ijsnem… ⛽️ 🚴🏻

@SamImpey_ @timpodlogar @hexis_live Awesome, thanks Sam. Look forward to watching.

@__BenPrice @timpodlogar Hi Ben, yeah we're going to record them and will get them on the @hexis_live website soon after.

A world leader in carbohydrate metabolism, @timpodlogar will share his research on fuelling during training and racing, and pose the question is 120g/h correct? Join us in Florence for a day of focused cycling nutrition discussions: eventbrite.co.uk/e/elite-cyclin…

@nextlvlnut Thanks, Alan, much appreciated.

@__BenPrice Possibly a combination of this fluid retention effect and an ability for pros to stay in (or at least closer to) energy balance may be contributing

@nextlvlnut Would be great to get your insight on this, Alan... velo.outsideonline.com/road/road-trai… with your expertise in sodium balance do you think excess sodium intake is likely to have had any meaningful contribution to weight gain here?

@Sportnutrient 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

…I much prefer cycling.

Last weekend I completed my 88th Ultramarathon. It took 15 years and approx 4,400 ‘race’ miles to achieve. If I had to share one key thing about what I learnt, it’s -

@Sportnutrient 🤣🤣🤣

…end of thread.

Do 120 g/h carbohydrates improve endurance performance? Here’s a thread on all the published scientific literature that supports improved performance outcomes at this ingestion rate 🧵…

I wonder what it was that changed his mind?

@sweatscience @Sportnutrient @theplews1 @Jeukendrup @timpodlogar Agree with @Sportnutrient, though; the Smith paper seems to be the best dose-response study we have. I think this meta-analysis found a similar 'optimal' dose too... pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21846165/

@sweatscience @Sportnutrient @theplews1 @Jeukendrup @timpodlogar (i.e. compare 60g/hr glucose to 90g/hr glucose:fructose), the additional performance benefit to 90g/hr doesn't seem to exist, as illustrated here... pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25134001/

Sports nutrition guidelines recommend a max of 90g of carbs per hour. But endurance pros are now pushing to 120g/hr and beyond, and new science shows the body can handle it. The unanswered question, at this point, is whether it makes you faster. More⬇️: outsideonline.com/health/trainin…
