Carbohydrate Timing Boosts Training Effect: Cut Out Carbs After PM Glycogen Depleting HIT Workout ⇨ "Sleep Low" to Make Game-Changing Performance Gains in Only 3 Weeks

Image
You are no triathlete or coach? That doesn't mean that this study isn't of interest for you. The figurative "extra wind" this training strategy can give you is relevant for almost every athlete. In a recent study, scientists from the French National Institute of Sport  investigated the effect of a chronic dietary periodization strategy in a group of twenty-one highly-trained male triathletes. Previous studies, in which "train-low" strategies, during which athletes are deliberately carbohydrate restricted over certain periods of their training cycle, have reported robust a up-regulation of selected markers of training adaptation (increased whole body fat oxidation, increased activities of oxidative enzymes) compared to training with normal glycogen stores and high CHO availability, however, the subjects experienced at best disappointing performance increases.

Image 1 (lecker.de): They may look cute and harmless, but they are just one of the many incarnations of the worst transfatty acids offenders in the diets of the "average American" cake, cookie and pastry lovers. Believe it or not: Some of them manage to eat almost 100g of the proatherogenic fats per day (!) Saturday and therefore time for a handful of " On Short Notice " news. We've got some ground to cover, today, so let's get started right away: We will start out by taking a look at the joint-healing / -protective effects of cinnamophilin , a compound from the roots of the cinnamomum trees. We will reconsider the importance of adiponectin for the non-obese physical culturist , switch from aspirin to tomato powder as our cancer prevention "drug" of choice and re-appreciate the newly discovered cell-protective value of a supplement 90% of you are probably already taking: creatine! Once we are done with that we revisit the potential connect...

Chamois Creme Potential Reason for Elevated Estrogen in Cyclists +Triathletes Have 2x More Testosterone Than Average Men and 71% More Than Active Individuals

Image 1: Norman Stadler 2004 winner of the Ironman Hawaii probably had a hell of a testosterone boost, when this photo was taken (img. Kai Baumgartner. 2004) Disturbances of the endocrine (=hormonal) milieu are among the hall-mark features of what sport scientists call the "female athlete triad". The unholy trinity of osteoporosis, disordered eating and, as a direct consequence of the aforementioned hormonal imbalances, menstrual disorders. Men, the purportedly "stronger sex", on the other hand are supposedly pretty resistant to exercise-, or, I should say, overtraining-induced hormonal imbalances - bullshit? Well, probably... after all, with insufficient fuel and recovery everyone, man or woman will eventually maneuver him- or herself into a situation where his endocrine system is no longer functioning optimally. A recent study from UCLA does yet show that mother nature must have been aware that a) exercise is part of what the "hunters" (=us men ;-) d...
