Pre- and Post-exercise Nutrient Timing (lecture and discussion)
We focus heavily upon movement prep, the exercise bout and muscle recovery, but largely ignore the significant impact that nutrient and fluid intakes have upon performance, recovery and muscle adaptation. Why only train hard when we also should train smart? This session discusses the three pillars of carbohydrates, protein and fluid intake (timing, type, quantity) before and following exercise to optimize training, recovery and most importantly, adaptation.
