30 g of 85% dark chocolate daily for 3 weeks reduced negative mood and increased gut microbial diversity.

It took 7 years to put in place all the necessary ingredients for this study which is the first RCT that specifically tested whether carbohydrates improve exercise performance (which they unquestionably do) by either increasing pre-exercise muscle glycogen content (in which case muscle glycogen is an obligatory fuel for human exercise performance) or by preventing depletion of the small glucose pool in the liver and blood stream leading to hypoglycemia (in which case blood glucose serves an obligatory role during exercise in preventing glycopenic brain dysfunction). Because of the design of the experiment, the results are unambiguous. Muscle glycogen is NOT an obligatory fuel during prolonged exercise; but blood glucose IS. This has real significance for what we teach about the role of nutrition in human exercise performance.
🧵Very-low carb (ketogenic; LCHF) vs high-carb diet (HCLF): -Ironman triathletes (n=10)🚴‍♂️ -"Hitting the Wall"🥵 -Homeostasis monitoring ("Keto-Adaptation")📈 Our hypothesis was wrong...again 🔍CRITICAL QUESTIONS: 1) Does adopting an LCHF diet impair strenuous time-to-exhaustion performance? 2) Does carb supplementation (3.4g/20min) during exercise, 6-12x lower than current CHO fuelling recommendations, improve time-to-exhaustion on LCHF? If so, how? 3) Keto-adaptation homeostasis timeline? 🔏KEY CONTROLS: 1) Randomized & Controlled 2) ❎Crossover Design 3) ↔️Calories 4) ↔️Physical Activity Load 5) Dietary Compliance:⬆️BHB + CGM What did we see? 1/n 🔗Detailed study breakdown below

Which burns more carbs– a long easy ride or a short hard one? How cool would it be to turn your TSS into an estimate of kcal and carb use? Our new study introduces a novel method to predict carb and kcal use using measures of training load (TL)! link.springer.com/article/10… 1/

I like the idea of pros occasionally racing an @IRONMANtri world championship away from Hawaii. I hate the idea of splitting a world championship by gender.

The results are in! A comparison of two "super shoes" with a reference normal trainer: - Nike Alphafly Next% - Mizuno Wave Rebellion Pro (Prototype) - New Balance Hierro (Reference Shoe)
It’s that time of year on L6 Physiology of Sport Perf where @Dan_Nash94 helps us demonstrate the running economy gains from super shoes. This year it’s Nike Alphafly vs Mizuno prototype. @JSTalbot93 @jemima_benson @ElIiottJenkins

Flat vs. uphill cycling: On today's ride I included three steady efforts at RPE=6/10 1) 12:15 @ 315 W 2) 13:42 @ 320 W 3) 17:39 @ 346 W Yes, I know this looks a little odd, but ... 🧵 1/6

Body position can have big effects on cycling comfort & performance. Hip flexion can reduce blood flow at the iliac artery Lets use #NIRS to examine an athlete with LEFT-leg flow limitation #FLIA who shows exaggerated L/R differences Left SmO2 here is higher, so better? 🤔 1/🧵
