Our latest paper:
Effects of 10, 90, 120 and 150 G.H -1 CHO on Substrate Metabolism, Exogenous Oxidation and Exercise Capacity: Implications for CHO Personalization ovid.com/10.1249/MSS.0000000…
Congrats @HenryJMartyn on 2nd PhD study and huge thanks to all coauthors @LJMUSportSci
My first talk at @sportexercise is when does a food become a supplement? Here is the kicker - I'm going to propose that perhaps this isnt the important question when it comes to athlete safety amd anti doping. Looking forward to the discussion on this one.
Huge congratulations to Dr @andrewdixon0. Can't be many people with 247 professional rugby league career games and a PhD!! Proud of you pal.
Do I know anyone involved with @BritShowjumping ? If so I'd love to ask them a question please.

Open Diaries Monday:
-Got to the course pretty early. I wanted to play the back nine today as the LCQ were starting on the front.
-I have to sign up for tee times for practice rounds so I picked 8am to play by myself and go along the pace that I wanted.
-Got registered. They give out the same cool yardage book covers each yr. I don’t use them because they don’t have a pencil holder but cool nonetheless. Same goes for the player badge. They used to only give out those but now it’s more commemorative than anything.
-My locker had my titleist goodies including the major themed GTS headcovers. This one might be my favorite of the yr! Tweed

📢 New publication!
Is carbohydrate loading really enhancing endurance performance—or could some of the reported benefits be explained by placebo effects and athlete expectations?

So the Enhanced Games are over & remarkably unremarkable. 1 world record, helped by banned suits. Meanwhile most performances barely touched existing marks.
What does this tell us? Have we overestimated the impact of PED or were these not truly world class athletes to begin with?
So terribly sad. Sending all my love to Jai and his family.
Rabbitohs forward Jai Arrow has announced his immediate retirement from the NRL on medical grounds following a diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease (MND).
The Rabbitohs, his management and his family ask that everyone respects the privacy of Jai and his family at this difficult time.

Travelling to USA with @AerLingus via Dublin is an absolute game changer. Pre clearing US immigration in Dublin and then the friendliest staff on an amazing plane. I'm actually heading to airport now looking forward to my journey home!
Really happy to have my first publication on a topic very close to my heart. Huge congratulations to my PhD student Josh Bate on his first publication from this really important PhD.

Maurten has issued a release outlining the 12 months of testing done with Sawe to run sub 2. This included stable isotope analysis for exogenous CHO oxidation, and doubly water to assess energy expenditure.
The resultant 115 g/h strategy wasn't guess work - it was precision.

A new Policy on Protection of Female sport. The IOC earlier announced a new policy that not only tells federations to ensure that women’s sport excludes males, but introduces screening for eligibility. Here’s our podcast on how we got here & what it means podcasts.apple.com/za/podcas…

Anyone fancy working with us for 3 years on a PhD?
