Excited to share our latest publication in @MSSEonline in which we identified a novel mechanism by which ketones may improve exercise recovery and athletic performance @FWOVlaanderen @FaBeRkuleuven @KU_Leuven https://t.co/UJ9rDkLoFV

📜 New publication available on ketone supplementation at altitude!
"Ketone ester ingestion impairs exercise performance without impacting cognitive function or circulating EPO during acute hypoxic exposure"
Make sure to have a look: https://t.co/axIvQJVPRg

Great to see latest work from IEK project in @MSSEonline proficiently led by @MyrtheStalmans & @Chiel_Poffe

A Single Night in Hypoxia Either with or without Ketone Ester Ingestion Reduces Sleep Quality Without Impacting Next Day Exercise Performance

This is the next chapter of our exciting @FWOVlaanderen Weave collaboration with @unilj

[Chiel Poffe @Chiel_Poffe]

Happy to see the data from @MyrtheStalmans @E_C_S_S Young Investigator Award presentation now out in @japplphysiol. We show that ketones attenuate acute mountain sickness and hypoxemia. More hypoxia-ketone work coming up. @DebevecTadej @FaBeRkuleuven @REVALResearch

@troosters Thank you for the kind words! :)

[Ruben Robberechts @RubenRBRS]

Also, a big thanks to co-supervisor @stijnbog and my jury members Brendan Egan, @troosters, Lies Langouche, and Jan Boone for challenging me every year! @KU_Leuven @FaBeRkuleuven

[Ruben Robberechts @RubenRBRS]

I successfully defended my PhD on the impact of ketone ester supplementation on performance, training adaptations, and sleep! Grateful for the four wonderful years under the guidance of @Chiel_Poffe and Katrien Koppo. Now open to job opportunities in and outside academia.

[Ruben Robberechts @RubenRBRS]

@YouriBekhuis Thank you Youri!

[Ruben Robberechts @RubenRBRS]

@YouriBekhuis @Chiel_Poffe @GSchockaert_ @guido_claessen Congrats Youri!

Recent studies show that post-exercise ketones could increase natural EPO levels by 20%. That's just the start. They may influence mitochondria, capillaries, muscles, & more. What comes next?
