Episode 136 of the Institute of Performance Nutrition)'s "We Do Science" podcast! In this episode, I (Laurent Bannock)) discuss "Energy Availability: From Health to Performance" with Jose Areta) PhD, Liverpool John Moores University, UK).
Discussion Topics Include:
- Energy Availability (EA): an overview
- Energy Balance, Energy Deficit, and Energy Availability
- EA and impact on training adaptions incl down-regulation of skeletal muscle protein synthesis and autophagy
- EA and impact on health (incl menstrual function and bone metabolism)
- Case study of an athlete in chronic low energy availability
- Training with low carbohydrate availability AND low energy availability
Key Paper(s) Discussed / Referred to:
