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 […]

Protein Requirements for Plant-Based Athletes: Dr. Robert Davies
The quality and nutritional value of dietary proteins are determined by the quantity, digestibility and bioavailability of essential amino acids (EAA), which play a critical role in human growth, longevity and metabolic health. Recommended daily […]
Food for Thought: The Role of Dietary Protein Supplementation for Athletes – Dr. Robert Davies
Optimising growth, maintenance and preservation of skeletal muscle mass over an athlete’s career is key to success. Athletes seeking to gain muscle mass and strength during training are advised to consume high protein intakes, usually […]
Publication: Acute reduction of lower-body contractile function following a microbiopsy of m. vastus lateralis
Research Impact Summary: In resistance trained men 18‐35 years, capable of producing forceful/powerful muscular contractions, a minimally invasive unilateral microbiopsy of m. vastus lateralis causes an acute inhibition of lower‐body bilateral contractile function and an imbalance between […]
A Long-term Protein Supplementation Strategy: Will Any Which Whey Work? Robert Davies
Not all proteins are created equally. The over and above the quantity of protein the delivery, composition, digestion and absorption kinetics can differentially affect the postprandial anabolism which has been previously discussed here. Indeed, at […]
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 […]
What are Athletes made Of? Robert Davies
They are made up of the same stuff as everyone else, namely fat, muscle, and bone. However, their body composition differs, only by the total volume and relative proportion of these tissues. The ability to […]
