Can sustainable fish protein support resistance exercise in the management and prevention of sarcopenia?
Everyone has heard the famous saying “you are what you eat”, but never expected it to be so literal. This statement was introduced by the American nutritionist Victor Lindahr in the 1930s and gained popularity […]
Publication: “Divergent serum metabolomic, skeletal muscle signalling, transcriptomic and performance adaptations to fasted versus whey protein-fed sprint interval training
Research Impact: Current literature has investigated the nutritional regulation of acute and chronic exercise-induced metabolic adaptations in muscle following endurance exercise, principally comparing the impact of training in fasted and carbohydrate-fed (CHO) conditions. Alternative strategies […]
Publication: The Influence of Maximal Strength and Knee Angle on the Reliability of Peak Force in the Isometric Squat
Research Impact: In this paper we document the relationship between maximal strength level and the reliability of an isometric squat test in two isometric squat positions (120° and 90° knee angle) using a heterogeneous sample of […]
Publication: Carbohydrate and Protein Co-Ingestion Postexercise Does Not Improve Next-Day Performance in Trained Cyclists
Research Impact: Supplementing post-exercise carbohydrate (CHO) intake with protein has been suggested to enhance recovery from endurance exercise. The aim of this study (in a double-blind crossover design) was to investigate whether adding protein to […]
Publication: A Fish-Derived Protein Hydrolysate Induces Postprandial Aminoacidaemia and Skeletal Muscle Anabolism in an In Vitro Cell Model Using Ex Vivo Human Serum
Research Impact: Fish-derived proteins, particularly fish protein hydrolysates (FPH), offer potential as high-quality sources of dietary protein whilst enhancing economic and environmental sustainability. In this study we worked with industry partners Bio-marine Ingredients Ireland to […]
Reflecting on PESS research performance and a look to the future – Dr. Brian Carson
As we embark on a new calendar year, it is a good time to reflect on what we have achieved, celebrate our successes and look to the future of research in the PESS department. In […]
The impact of low carbohydrate diets on bone health – Athlete survey
Athlete nutritional practices are very often primarily concerned with improving performance via weight loss and/or a metabolic adaption while bone health is often given less consideration. A proactive approach to bone health can be more […]
Publication: Sprint interval training in men with and without elevated worry
Research Impact: Psychological consequences of sprint interval training (SIT), a potential time-efficient exercise strategy for which physiological adaptations are supported, is understudied, particularly effects on anxiety-related constructs. This is the first investigation of state anxiety […]
Publication: Physical activity achievements of Irish children with disabilities during an adapted PA programme
Research Impact: The benefits of physical activity (PA) are widespread for all children, including those with disabilities. However, despite these benefits children with disabilities continue to be restricted in their participation, have lower levels of […]
