@OllyWitard How quickly time passes… great times, with great people! All good with me thanks. Hope you are keeping well too

@phil__watson Lovely picture Phil. Thanks for sharing. Those No doubt messers Foskett, Ali, Stevenson and Betts were somewhere in that bar too. I hope all well your end.

ECSS in Bruges. 2012 ish? Kev thoroughly enjoyed this trip (he liked a wee trip!). Alongside the Belgian beer, he enjoyed 'hangin out' with friends and colleagues in the market squares & listening to the new science. 2 years today & always in our thoughts.

@Gonzalez_JT We’ve published several studies (some of these funded by WADA) showing a performance benefit of bupropion when exercising in warm conditions; it remains on the monitoring list. We have also shown the octopamine did not improve performance and it is on the prohibited list… 🤷‍♂️

I am interested to hear thoughts of scientists, coaches, athletes and other sports science support staff on whether ketone esters should/should not be on the WADA prohibited list? Please share your thoughts on the poll below 👇 #doping #science #sport #wada #ketones

@hillaruto @Jeukendrup Great point! The water content of the drinks used in the study varied from 100% to 88%, so we corrected the BHI to account for this. You can see the impact in the published paper; academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/1…

@Jeukendrup What is the % water content of each beverage and how does that affect the said index?

The beverage hydration index is a measure for how well the body retains fluid after exercise with different beverages. Some surprises?? Read the blog on bit.ly/2X6nxXI
