Inside Exercise

Sports nutrition for optimal sports performance with Dr Louise Burke

Dr Glenn McConell chats with Professor Louise Burke from Australian Catholic University. Louise is an extremely experienced academic dietician and practitioner with probably the best current track record in the area. In a wide ranging discussion we discussed many things including how she got into the field ("by accident"), the importance of high CHO intake compared with high fat/ketogenic diets for endurance performance, how forcing the body to burn more fat during exercise (by high fat diets) can make one less economical/efficient (which is the opposite to "super shoes" which improve running economy), competing with social media influencers to get quality information out there, changing the CHO intake based on the phase of the training program,  sports nutrition not black and white: it is nuanced based on the individual, the event, the goals, the stage of the season etc, glycogen resynthesis, importance of the type of CHO (nutrient rich except during exercise and in moderation for enjoyment), lower dose caffeine and exercise (masking fatigue), John Hawley and coke slushies, Olympic marathon winner Frank Shorter using coke for performance and training with low CHO (in 1968!), CHO ingestion: can train your gut to absorb more, the type of CHO ingested matters, David Costill the legend, Tour de France cyclists dietary practises (during the stage and over the full day), protein requirements and timing of protein intake, chocolate milk the darling of sports nutrition, electroltyes in sports drinks.
