This new scientific study investigated how muscle glycogen availability affects peak fat oxidation (PFO), the exercise intensity eliciting peak fat oxidation (Fatmax), and mitochondrial coupling control and efficiency (MCCE) in…
Read Full Analysis →This study evaluated the effects of bicarbonate and carbohydrate co-ingestion using a novel energy gel format during prolonged moderate-intensity cycling on subsequent sprint and time-trial performance in trained cyclists. Eleven…
Read Full Analysis →In the pursuit of elite performance, athletes often focus on the macro: volume, intensity, and caloric intake. Yet, many hit a “recovery plateau” where even perfect training and nutrition fail…
Read Full Analysis →This systematic review and meta-analysis investigates the impact of beetroot juice, a natural source of dietary nitrate, on athletic performance during sprint-based exercises. By examining 23 randomised trials, the researchers…
Read Full Analysis →This study investigated the effects of AG1Ⓡ, a multi-ingredient synbiotic supplement, on the gut microbiome and general health of thirty healthy adults. Using a double-blind, placebo-controlled design, researchers discovered that…
Read Full Analysis →This narrative review examines the physiological impact of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs), a syndrome caused by a mismatch between dietary intake and the energy required for exercise and…
Read Full Analysis →This comprehensive meta-analysis evaluates how protein supplementation influences the athletic performance and physical recovery of 1,206 athletes across 75 randomised controlled trials. The researchers discovered that while protein can enhance…
Read Full Analysis →In the discipline of high-performance physiology, muscle glycogen is no longer viewed as a mere passive substrate. The weight of the evidence dictates that glycogen acts as a sophisticated “fuel…
Read Full Analysis →This review examines the evolving nutritional strategies and physiological demands of professional road cycling, focusing on the shift towards high carbohydrate intake. Recent data indicates that elite cyclists have increased…
Read Full Analysis →This fantastic, narrative review explores the potential of taurine supplementation as a novel method for improving human heat tolerance during physical exertion. Emerging research suggests that taurine acts as a…
