In Dr. Clinton Mathias' First Year Experience - Nutritional Sciences Community course, guest speaker, Dr. Jennifer Fields gave an intuitive presentation on the importance of nutrition in performance optimization of athletes!
Newest pub out!
"These findings can help practitioners better interpret RMR values to classify an athlete with a low, moderate, or high RMR when compared to other athletes and how these values may subsequently influence BF%." @AJagim @dr_mtjones8
Newest pub out! "Significant disparities in absolute external load parameters were observed among SOC, LAX, and FH, challenging the conventional grouping of these sports as “field sports” and highlighting their unique match workload profiles."

Calling all of your nutritional supplement papers for this special issue! @AJagim @nutrients
"85.7% of our college MGYM athletes exhibited LEA (20.98 ± 5.2 kcals/kg FFM), with non-LEA athletes (n = 2) marginally surpassing the <30 kcal/kg of fat-free mass (FFM) threshold (30.58 ± 0.2 kcals/kg FFM)."
Great work @kuhlmanick 👏
