Show Notes

This week on the podcast Mikki speaks to Dr. José Areta, lecturer in sports nutrition and metabolism, about energy availability. We talk about what it is, we talk specifically about his paper around within day energy availability in cyclists and the variation both between athletes, and also in the same athletes. We talk about what energy availability is (the definition for it), why it is important and also some aspects of energy availability that we talk about as being true for all, but actually at this stage doesn’t have the science to back it up. Work in progress!

José L Areta currently works as a lecturer in Sports Nutrition and Metabolism at the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at LJMU.

José’s primary interest is in the area of training-nutrient interactions in humans. In other words, he investigates how to manipulate ingestion of carbohydrates, fat and protein around training to optimise physical performance and health.

What is Mikkipedia?

Mikkipedia is an exploration in all things health, well being, fitness, food and nutrition. I sit down with scientists, doctors, professors, practitioners and people who have a wealth of experience and have a conversation that takes a deep dive into their area of expertise. I love translating science into a language that people understand, so while some of the conversations will be pretty in-depth, you will come away with some practical tips that can be instigated into your everyday life. I hope you enjoy the show!
