🚨The updated Metabolic Map. Yesterday I said the Metabolic Map I proposed in 2013 needed to evolve. That map helped me and others translate complex laboratory findings into practical guidance for training and performance. Today I’m sharing the updated model. In my view, this represents a shift in how we should understand exercise metabolism. For over two decades, I focused on what the body burns, fat vs carbohydrates, and how lactate serves as a powerful proxy of that process. After many years of working with world-class athletes, patients and laboratory research, my view is clearer: exercise metabolism is a continuum of metabolic states, defined by the relationship between glycolysis and mitochondrial capacity. From equilibrium to drift to overload. Lactate is the signal of where the system stands, and how we can track metabolism across all exercise intensities.

🆕 Is there a link between excess body fat and the risk of non-contact muscle injuries in elite footballers ⚽️? ➡️"The body-fat % effect (per 1%-point) was directionally positive for minimal & mild injuries (HR: 1.61)" 👉 Eduard Bezuglov et al. 2026 🇷🇺 📂 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Return-to-Play decisions are still based on timelines. Injury → MRI → 16 days → back to play. But muscle velocity of contraction is the last to recover. So… are we clearing athletes too early? linkedin.com/posts/jure-jem… #SportsMedicine #HamstringInjury
