Carbs & Training Adaptations: What Athletes Need to Know with Dr. Mark Hearris

Send us Fan MailIn episode #161 we spoke with researcher Dr. Mark Hearris about:Carbohydrate metabolism and exercise performanceCo-ingesting protein with carbs for recoveryDual-source carbohydrates and liver glycogen repletionPeriodizing nutrition and training goalsDr. Mark Hearris is a Senior Lecturer in Exercise Metabolism and Nutrition at Manchester Met University. His research interests lie in the field of carbohydrate metabolism, where he has investigated the influence of carbohydrate availability in modulating exercise performance and training-induced adaptations. This research has informed modern carbohydrate feeding guidelines during exercise as well as current periodisation strategies for the endurance athlete. Mark’s current research focuses on the use of 13C magnetic resonance spectroscopy to non-invasively measure skeletal muscle and liver glycogen metabolism in response to exercise and carbohydrate feeding.Mark is also a Registered Nutritionist with the Association for Nutrition. He has applied his expertise across team and endurance sports, including as a consultant performance nutritionist in pro football 2016-2021.Connect with Dr. Hearris:LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/mark-hearris-07a14043International Sport & Exercise Nutrition Conference: https://isenc.co.uk/Co-ingesting whey protein with dual source carbohydrate enhances amino acid availability without compromising post-exercise liver glycogen resynthesis: https://researchportal.bath.ac.uk/en/publications/co-ingesting-whey-protein-with-dual-source-carbohydrate-enhances-Other Studies Mentioned:Asker Jeukenrup: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Asker-Jeukendrup120g carbs/hour - 3hrs cycling: https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/japplphysiol.00091.2022Fuel for the Work Required: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40279-018-0867-7Trent Stellingwerff study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36894187/MORE NRApply to work with Kyla → https://p.bttr.to/3ZrwzcFUse code NEWPOD10 for 10% off our meal plans → https://nutritional-revolution.com/products/CONNECT Instagram → www.instagram.com/nutritionalrevolutionSponsorship inquiries → [email protected] in having your biomarkers or nutrigenomics checked?
