During my run at UTMB in 2022 @Jesusah80 took and analyzed some physiological and cognitive data before, during and after the race. Here is an article on what we found:

Are you interested in REDs and low energy availability?

Check out our latest work 'Does REDs exist?', which challenges the idea that low energy availability is the only etiological factor for the syndrome, and brings forward other possible explanations

Biomarkers for diagnosing relative energy deficiency in sport (REDs)🩸

This new review outlined the various methods and prevalence of markers used to identify REDs 🔍

Anthropometric Parameters 🩻

👉 BMI, skinfolds, ultrasound, DXA

Bone Health 🦴

👉 Bone mineral density (BMD), oestrogen, leptin, IGF-1, protein, calcium, vitamin D

Metabolic Rate 🔥

👉 Indirect calorimetry, RMR, RMR ratio

Blood Biomarkers🩸

👉 T3, testosterone, LH, FSH, estradiol

Energy Availability 📊

👉 Energy expenditure, energy intake

There are strengths and limitations of many of the above markers, and focusing on markers in isolation should be avoided🚨

The majority (if not all) should be evaluated in combination with other methods ✅

Finally online in @IJSPPjournal!💣🚴‍♂️

A high-intensity session elicits greater fatigue than a work-matched moderate-intensity one, particularly during short-duration efforts (eg., W'). High-intensity durability is key!

Thanks to all my colleagues!

It's been a big week for our group.
Our single-fibre proteomics paper: "Fibre-specific mitochondrial protein abundance is linked to resting and post-training mitochondrial content in the muscle of men" has been accepted by Nature Communications and should be online soon.

I’ve been getting tagged a lot in this post.

“Is this legit?”

For the most part, yes!

Sodium bicarb = high-intensity performance enhancer.

Why does it work? 💊

Sodium bicarbonate increases blood bicarbonate levels, which in turn enhances the blood’s capacity to buffer acid.

Lactate produced during high-intensity exercise is accompanied by hydrogen ions (H+). The accumulation of H+ ions lowers the pH within muscles, leading to acidosis, muscle fatigue, and impairments in muscle contractile function.

Sodium bicarbonate acts as a buffering agent that helps maintain pH levels in muscles during intense exercise. This buffering capacity can delay the onset of muscle fatigue, allowing for sustained high performance.

Research shows that sodium bicarb is particularly beneficial for short-duration, high-intensity activities like sprinting, weightlifting, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) — or so-called anaerobic exercise where glycolysis predominates.

High doses can cause GI side effects though.
