Publication: The Effect of Whey Protein Supplementation on the Temporal Recovery of Muscle Function Following Resistance Training
Research Impact: The ability to sustain high-quality performance during training is a key component for optimal and effective athletic progression. During training programs efficient recovery between exercise bouts, is one aspect subject to modulation. Whey protein […]
Postdoctoral opportunities in the Human Sciences Research Unit – Career-Fit. Dr Brian Carson
The Human Sciences Research Unit (HSRU), housed within the department of Physical Education and Sport Sciences at the University of Limerick, are seeking candidates interested in pursuing postdoctoral fellowships in the areas of Healthy Ageing […]
Cross-talk between physiological systems: A new paradigm for exercise science? Professor Phil Jakeman
Much is known of the time course and nature of adaptation of specific human systems (e.g. cardiovascular, pulmonary, musculoskeletal) to acute (single bout) and chronic (training) exercise. Recent understanding of the interactive nature of periodicity, […]
FHI HAPN Team Win “Best Cross-Institutional Initiative” Award – Brian Carson & Phil Jakeman
FHI2 identified skeletal muscle metabolism as common to Healthy Ageing and Performance Nutrition (HAPN) and Glycaemic Management (GM) and coordinated action to validate a ‘translational’ muscle cell model was a key objective. Innovative and productive […]
How does the study of performance nutrition in athletes impact healthy ageing? Phil Jakeman
Media Alert: The Journal of Nutrition Protein-rich breakfasts and lunches increase lean tissue mass in the elderly As hypothesized, whereas lean body mass decreased in the control group, those consuming the additional protein […]
Scanning Your Body for Health Risk and Sports Performance – Phil Jakeman
Most are aware of the obesity epidemic and associate obesity to be the result of an increase in body fat. The World Health Organisation monitors population trends in obesity by body mass index or BMI […]
