Protein supplementation reduces muscle atrophy after surgery 🩼 This new meta-analysis compiled data from 19 studies (903 patients) to establish the effects of… 👉 oral or intravenous protein/amino acid supplementation 👈 …in patients undergoing joint replacement surgery 👩‍⚕️ Here are the key findings ⬇️ 🥤 Protein supplementation significantly reduced muscle loss in both quadriceps and hamstrings 👉 Additional effects on intramuscular adipose tissue, muscle thickness and muscle strength were inconsistent 🩸 Intravenous amino acid infusion improved muscle protein synthesis and reduced perioperative blood loss The average supplementation period across interventions was 55-days 🗓️ Protein supplementation around surgery (pre- and post-) can significantly reduce muscle loss ✅ This is of particular importance for older individuals and athletes, but is important for all going under the knife 🔪

Wins begin with availability, and @SamMooreStrong is determined to help keep elite female athletes on the field with her research at @UNC. Learn about sport science pathways, female performance nuances, and the power of taking risks in S9 Ep3: ow.ly/meKL50VQsrx

📢📢BIG NEWS TO SHARE!! We've been working on this for a while and I can finally say that @UofSCExSci and @USCArnoldSchool officially have an ACCREDITED MS program in PERFORMANCE NUTRITION AND DIETETICS! We are one of only a few Performance Nutrition MS/RD programs in the entire country. It will launch this Fall and we are now accepting applications for the first cohort. Thanks to everyone who has helped make this a reality. This was one of my main initiatives when I accepted the role as Department Chair, so I'm pretty stoked we pulled this off! @runnergirladams @GamecocksOnline @UofSCSportSci @UofSC sc.edu/study/colleges…

Creatine is safe & beneficial throughout the lifespan.

🚨New research alert! 🚨 Protein Intake in Older Adults Really appreciate the help from the squad for getting this COVID era project across the line: @hirschkt @SKviatkovsky @JosephMatthews_ doi.org/10.1016/j.tjnu…

We must have made the NICE LIST this year because we got another early present under the tree! Check out this TT position (asst or assoc prof) in rehab/biomechanics/neuro to support our DPT program. Grinches need not apply. @UofSCExSci @USCArnoldSchool acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc…

Come be part of one of the best teams! Keep raising the level! So much great stuff going on here.

Not 1... not 2... not 3... but 4 (FOUR!!) new faculty positions with @UofSCExSci! 3 tenure track and 1 clinical line. In the immortal words of the Beastie Boys, 'Ch-check it out'. @USCArnoldSchool @UofSC sc.edu/study/colleges…

@rrandell86 @MargotRogers_ Congrats @MargotRogers_ 🎉👊🏼

Excited to share the winners of the GSSI Women in Sport Science Researcher Award @hirschkt and @MargotRogers_ GSSI offers two $5,000 awards to US-based graduate students, postdocs and early career women scientists working on the nutrition and hydration needs for active women

Thank you GSSI! Honored to receive this award. Grateful for the opportunities to contribute to the female athlete and women's health space.

RTs appreciated: I have up to 2 funded PhD/MS student positions for Fall 2025. Are you interested in reducing competitive and/or tactical athlete’s risk of bone injuries, exercise interventions for healthy aging, or female physiology then check us out education.okstate.edu/research/labs/…

Does REDs exist? Our new paper is out. It is a scientist's duty to keep challenging dogma's and ask questions! bit.ly/Does-REDs-exist
