Background: Until recently, consuming nutrients close to sleep was believed to have negative impacts on body composition and overall health. However, recent work from our laboratory and others has demonstrated that a low calorie snack, ...
Effects of Consuming Cottage Cheese or Casein Protein Beverage Before Sleep on Morning Appetite and Resting Energy Expenditure in Active, Collegiate-Aged Women
BACKGROUND: There is a window of opportunity for the overnight period where pre-sleep protein intake yields favorable benefits. Previous studies report that dietary protein consumption prior to sleep is fully digested and absorbed by the...
Purpose. The primary purpose was to determine the effect of sleep time on performance during a 3-day multistage ultra-endurance triathlon (stage 1: 10km swim, 144.8km bike; stage 2: 275.8km bike; stage 3: 84.4km run). Methods. Eighteen...
The Effects of Four-Week Beta-Alanine Supplementation on Muscular Performance, Submaximal Oxygen Consumption, and Body Composition in Parkinson's Patients
Background: Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative condition most commonly affecting adults over 60 years of age. PD patients often experience an increase in muscular fatigability as well as a decrease in muscular...
Introduction: Due to the high metabolic demand of sport, it is essential that athletes meet their caloric need to support training, recovery, and muscle growth. Consuming protein before sleep may have positive effects on sleep, overnight...
Introduction: Cold-induced changes in lactate kinetics are critically important for athletes, particularly those training and competing in the cold. Alterations in lactate production and/or clearance may result in altered blood lactate...
Purpose: To establish the relationship between the acute:chronic workload ratio and peak performance in division 1 NCAA track and field sprinters over the course of the 2018 outdoor season. Methods: The acute:chronic workload ratio was...
BACKGROUND: Nutrient timing is an effective means of augmenting endurance exercise training and performance. Previous studies report that pre-exercise feeding can influence exercise metabolism up to 4 hours post-prandial. However, this...
Background: The nutrient content and fluid retentive capacity of chocolate milk (CM) is beneficial for most athletes. However, nighttime consumption of CM has an unknown impact on next morning endurance performance and hydration status....
Introduction. TeaCrine® is the pharmaceutically-produced, synthetic version to naturally occurring theacrine (1, 3, 7, 9-tetramethyluric acid) found in the leaves of the Camellia kucha tea plants. Few studies have examined the effects of...
PURPOSE: To examine the influence of the Ultraman triathlon (3 days of non-continuous racing; stage 1: 10 km swim and 144.8 km cycle; stage 2: 275.4 km cycle; stage 3: 84.4 km run) on circulating plasma concentrations of whole-body (CRP, ...
The Effect of Nighttime Macronutrient Choice and Exercise Training on Body Composition, Strength, Cardiovascular Health, Resting Metabolism, and Appetite in Overweight and Obese Adults
Background: Nighttime eating is often associated with metabolic syndrome and poor body composition and these conditions may be influenced by the natural decline in metabolism that occurs during sleep. However, only limited research has...
The Effects of Pre-and Post-Exercise Consumption of Multi Ingredient Performance Supplements on Cardiovascular Health and Body Composition in Trained Men after Six Weeks of Resistance Training
Background: The cardiovascular (CV) and metabolic health benefits or risks associated with consumption of multi-ingredient performance enhancing supplements (MIPS) in conjunction with periodized resistance training (RT) in resistance...
Background: Athletes continue to strive for an edge over the competition. In recent years, dietary nitrate supplementation, particularly in the form of beetroot juice, has been shown to improve oxygen cost economy in endurance-focused...
Background: Obesity increases the likelihood of developing chronic diseases such as hypertension, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, arteriosclerosis, and coronary heart diseases. An ideal approach to treat obesity is to...
