Sports Supplements: The placebo effect.

The placebo effect can have trivial to small beneficial effects on time-to-exhaustion and time-trial performance. And, believing that something will work might help it work. But, before playing with the unknown, first invest your valuable time and money in optimising your training load, sleep, nutrition, and rest.

But don’t stop there, listen to this audiobook-style podcast to fully educate yourself.

Sports Supplements: Vitamin D.

Vitamin D primarily regulates calcium metabolism and bone health. If your habitual diet is deficient in foods containing vitamin D or you lack daily year-round exposure to sunlight, you are at risk of a vitamin D deficiency and a vitamin D supplement may be advised under guidance from your doctor. If you have a vitamin D deficiency and/or are of older age and combining supplementation with strength training, daily vitamin D supplementation is likely to help increase and restore muscle strength. But, if you don’t have a vitamin D deficiency, supplementing with vitamin D is highly unlikely to boost your performance or recovery.

Sports Supplements: Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA).

Fish oils, oily fish, predatory fish, algae, and seeds & nuts contain the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. If your habitual diet is deficient in foods containing DHA and EPA then an omega-3 or fish oil supplement may be advised. A daily omega-3 or fish oil supplement is likely to alleviate muscle soreness and restore range of motion following muscle-damaging exercise. But, a daily omega-3 or fish oil supplement is highly unlikely to improve your performance unless you are of older age and/or deficient in DHA and EPA.

Sports Supplements: CBD & THC (Cannabinoids).

CBD and THC are cannabinoids found in cannabis plants. THC (or cannabis) is very unlikely to improve strength/endurance performance (and is more likely to impair it). CBD is also unlikely to improve performance or recovery but high-quality randomised controlled trials are needed so a systematic review and meta-analysis can be completed.

Sports Supplements: Ketones.

Ketones are fuels that your body uses to produce energy (ATP) when carbohydrate stores (glycogen) are depleted and blood glucose is low. Ketone supplementation is unlikely to boost your endurance performance. But, there is a need for studies of ultra-distance performance (during which ketone supplements might become relevant).

Sports Supplements: Carnitine.

L-carnitine is an amino acid found in muscles that helps “shuttle” fatty acids into your mitochondria so they can be “burned” to produce ATP. Supplementing with L-carnitine or propionyl-L-carnitine either daily or before a session/race might boost your performance during high-intensity exercise. But, the evidence is limited, very little data exists on trained athletes, and a quality meta-analysis is lacking.

Sports Supplements: Sodium bicarbonate.

Sodium bicarbonate is a salt with buffering properties that can “mop up” hydrogen (H+) ions to lower acidity (pH). Taking a sodium bicarbonate supplement before a session or race is likely to boost your performance during high-intensity short-duration events lasting between ∼45 seconds and ~8 minutes. Taking sodium bicarbonate before exercise is also likely to boost muscular endurance (“reps-to-failure”) and repeated maximal sprint power.

Sports Supplements: HMB.

β-hydroxy β-methylbutyrate (aka HMB) is a carboxylic acid found in muscle that can simultaneously promote muscle protein synthesis and prevent muscle protein breakdown. Daily HMB supplementation is likely to help increase muscle strength in folks who are previously untrained but not in trained athletes.

Sports Supplements: BCAAs.

BCAAs — leucine, isoleucine, and valine — are “essential” amino acids that we need to obtain through our diet. Post-exercise BCAA supplementation might help alleviate muscle soreness after vigorous exercise but supplementation with BCAAs or leucine is unlikely to directly boost your performance.

Sports Supplements: Nitrate.

Nitrate is found in leafy green veg and beetroot, and regulates vascular and metabolic function. Pre-exercise supplementation with sodium nitrate or beetroot juice is likely to boost your performance during strength, power, and speed-based events. Nitrate/beetroot is likely to improve endurance exercise capacity (time-to-exhaustion) but not time trial performance, and is typically only evident in recreational level athletes — the endurance-enhancing effect is blunted in highly-trained endurance athletes.

Introducing the Sports Supplements tool.

A systematic research summary of sports supplements used by athletes. This tool is an up-to-date summary of all known scientific evidence determining the effect of sports supplements on exercise performance. It is designed to be a useful free resource for scientists, practitioners, coaches, and athletes to help inform their decisions. I aim to keep it up-to-date as new evidence emerges.

Why is there always something left in the tank?

Today, I finish my series on fatigue with a sprint for the line, which is when you can always find a little something more to give. But, that something might not always be enough. To help understand that, I’ve got something about crocodiles, Yoda, and a little bit about a concept called “critical speed”.

What causes exercise-associated muscle cramps?

In my Alpine neck of the woods, tis that traditionally jolly time of year when Krampus comes to town to scare the naughty kids. But, in modern times, Krampus also haunts the festive races and takes down any ill-prepared athletes in his way. In this first instalment of a two-part series, I will visit the phenomenon of sudden involuntary muscle contractions — exercise-associated muscle cramps — aka a runner’s nightmare.

Continuous glucose monitoring for athletes. The “glucose performance zone” is all hype.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (aka CGM) is being marketed to athletes as a “fuel gauge” to provide “glucose performance zone” targets. I’ve gone deep to help you learn what CGM is, what its limitations are, whether blood glucose concentrations represent a fuel gauge, and whether "glucose performance zones" are even real, or useful, or dodgy.

This article contains a mix of robust science and my own opinions about throwing CGMs at athletes. Since I have over 10-years of experience using CGMs, I believe I have a right to an informed opinion on this topic.

What does heat do to your body during exercise?

Welcome to this deep-dive series on #training and #racing in the #heat.

It is always hot somewhere in the world. If you are in that part of the world and are too hot, you need to cool it. Why? Because being too hot is bad for you. This 3-part series on training and racing in the heat will start by delving into what heat does to you (Part 1) and will then dive deep into what you can do about it on race day (Part 2) and how to heat acclimate before race day (Part 3).

Hydration (part 1): What we know — Fundamental physiology.

Welcome to a 4-part deep-dive series on #hydration.

The feeling of thirst, which drives your desire to drink fluid, is one of the most tightly regulated processes in the human body. So why are there so many reminders about how to stay hydrated? And, why is it all so complicated? This series will deconstruct the flood of information in four parts, addressing “what we know”, “what we aren’t sure about”, “what we don’t know”, and “what you can do”. Here, in part 1, I will bomb-dive into the pool of hydration to see what we know.
