Carbohydrate restriction may impair bone health in premier league academy players🚨 This new study recruited 10 male football players from a premier league academy (age ~17 yrs) ⚽️ Players completed a 90-min training session (10:30 - 12:00) twice in two conditions: 1️⃣

“The restriction of dietary carbohydrate to <2 g/kg/d after the glycogen exhaustion session not only decreased middle-distance racing performance after two days but also increased perceived exertion and slightly reduced baseline and peak blood lactate…” mdpi.com/2072-6643/16/1…

Iron absorption is important, if not critical for endurance performance. The hormone hepcidin is a major regulator. This blog outlines tips rto maximise iron absoprtion bit.ly/3qW9Unz

Andrew M. Jones (Andrew Jones) suggests that a fourth dimension of #physiologicalresilience should be considered in models of endurance exercise performance in this #SymposiumReview 🏃 📜Read the article here: buff.ly/3AZVIE3

Intensity is a main driver of reduced mortality risk suggesting that the intensity of PA rather than the quantity matters for longevity. The centile curves offer guidance for achieving desirable PA levels for longevity. academic.oup.com/eurjpc/advance…

Consequences of carbohydrate restriction go beyond performance. Bone markers, iron biomarkers & immunity markers can be affected even independent of energy restriction. Tune into my recent podcast with Kathryn Ackerman to learn more 👇🏻! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/imp…

Latest collaboration between the UVU Applied Physiology Lab and the University of Montana Center for Work Physiology and Exercise Metabolism highlighting the energy requirements of a mountainous 100 mile ultramarathon. Open access, so check it out...journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/…

People often ask me how much I eat when I ride. Every body is different and it depends on your goals, but here is what works for me 👇 Recovery (≤ 2 hrs): 40g/hr Endurance (3 hrs): 60g/hr Long Endurance (4–5 hrs): 75g/hr Intervals: 75–80g/hr Big days: 80–100g/hr

Our new durability paper is out in SJMSS! We tested how endurance performance determinants change after heavy-intensity running (90 and 120 min) in well-trained marathoners. 📌Below details of what we’ve found. 🆓 Open-Access 📄 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sm… Rich Blagrove 🧵1/14

The athletes with the most and best functioning mitochondria in the world eat a ton of sugar… They also train a lot… The point? Don’t fall for this is good/evil on diet, exercise, and health. Everything requires context. Black and white thinking seldom works.

New calorie data (from double labeled water) on 100-mile mountain ultras: ~15,800 kcal to cover the distance (while consuming roughly half that) ... followed by burning 4,200-4,900 in the 24hrs *after* the race, presumably for repair and replenishment. outsideonline.com/health/nutriti…
