FTP #41: Alannah McKay & Peter Peeling - Ketogenic diets, carbohydrate availability and iron regulation in endurance athletes

Season 1 · Episode 41

Tuesday, June 28, 2022 • Duration 52:39

The provision or restriction of select nutrients in an athlete’s diet can elicit a variety of changes in fuel utilization, training adaptation, and performance outcomes. On this episode we discuss the impact of both acute and chronic
carbohydrate restriction on iron metabolism, comparing models of periodized carbohydrate availability and ketogenic low carbohydrate high fat diets.
We also touch base on the link between low energy availability , poor iron status and altered hepcidin activity in endurante athletes.

FTP #40: Rachel McCormick & Peter Peeling - Iron deficiency in endurance athletes: from diagnosis to treatment strategies

Season 1 · Episode 40

Sunday, January 3, 2021 • Duration 01:14:21

Iron deficiency (ID) is a prevailing nutritional concern amongst the athletic population due to the increased iron demands of
this group. Athletes’ ability to replenish taxed iron stores is challenging due to the low bioavailability of dietary sources, and
the interaction between exercise and hepcidin, the primary iron-regulatory hormone. This will be the main focus of this episode.

FTP #37: Lewis James & Stephen Mears - Carbohydrate Hydrogel Products in endurance sports: the science behind the claims & beyond

Season 1 · Episode 37

Monday, October 26, 2020 • Duration 54:16

A recent food technology innovation created new CHO drinks and gels with added sodium alginate and pectin in solutions of multiple transportable CHO, with the intention of encapsulating those CHO molecules in the stomach forming a gel which allegedly enables a smooth transportation of the drink through the stomach to the intestine. But are the claims of improved gastric emptying, increased CHO oxidation and reduce GI symptoms supported by science?

FTP #36: Kirsty Elliott-Sale & Eimear Dolan - The Female cyclist series: oral contraceptives and exercise performance

Season 1 · Episode 36

Monday, October 12, 2020 • Duration 01:14:37

On this second episode of this series dedicated exclusively to the female cyclist and endurance female athletes, we are talking again with Kirsty Elliott-Sale and Eimear Dolan about the role of oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) and exercise performance. This episode was based on a recent Meta-Analysis published by the guests themselves on Sports Medicine and they'll tell us what they found. Do OCP users have a lower performance when compared with naturally menstruating women? Is performance superior in OCP taking days vs. OCP withdrawal days? Tune in to find out.
