Sports Science Dudes

Ever pondered the power of collagen supplementation? We're peeling back the layers of this booming health trend with Dr. Shiloah A. Kviatkovsky, a standout postdoc at the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences Center.  Now before you make fun of Arkansas, Dr. Shy says it's a hidden gem. Be ready to have your mind blown as we explore the nitty-gritty of her extensive research on the role collagen plays in body composition, bone mineral density, and joint pain. Join us as we dispel myths and lay bare the facts about this underrated protein.BTW, she did a punishing nine-month study, where she meticulously assessed the effects of collagen supplements on various markers.  And to top it off, this stuff is good for hair and skin! Sign me up! About our special guest:Dr. Shiloah A. Kviatkovsky is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Center for Translational Research in Aging and Longevity. She earned her PhD at Florida State University researching the effects of collagen peptide supplementation on pain, function, and connective tissue turnover in middle-aged lifelong athletes. Prior to that, she researched human performance and blast injury in United States Navy special operations war fighters. She has dual graduate degrees in exercise physiology and nutrition from San Diego State University and is also a Certified Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitator (TSAC-F) through NSCA, and a Certified Sport Nutritionist (CISSN) through the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN). Her current research focuses on connective tissue turnover and protein kinetics in active and aging populations and is actively studying the efficacy of collagen peptide supplementation on bone and joint health.About the ShowWe cover all things related to sports science, nutrition, and performance.

Timeline:00:21 About Dr. Bill Campbell – Professor at the University of South Florida02:40 How Bill chose his field of study at USF – sports nutrition versus physique enhancement05:17 Performance versus Looking Pretty – Dr. Campbell opines09:07 What’s the ‘real’ body fat %? DXA vs Skinfolds vs Pick your method09:32 Two women can have the same % fat and yet one can look “ripped,” and the other looks super smooth13:55 Are there regional differences where body fat is lost? Male vs Female?16:10 Cool sculpting (i.e., cryolipolysis) – does this even work? You’d be surprised18:30 Liposuction 21:23 Lose fat and gain muscle at the same time? – advice from Dr. Campbell24:33 “I just want to lose fat; I don’t care if I lose lean body mass!” – why this irks Dr. Campbell30:14 Why women may be “better” at preserving lean tissue31:49 Rate of weight loss – does it matter if you lose it quickly? Slowly? Drs. Campbell and Ricci give us the lowdown34:30 Dr. Campbell – changed his mind as more data came along – he first thought that you must avoid rapid weight loss at all costs. 36:04 Minnesota Starvation Experiment 39:00 Dr. Campbell now thinks rapid weight loss is actually a viable strategy44:10 Make sure that the rapid weight loss duration is very short – that way you can ameliorate hyperphagia (i.e., extreme and insatiable hunger)48:48 Flexible vs Rigid Dieting50:10 A Protein-anchored flexible dieting approach is best50:47 Sometimes the rigid approach is best as you approach a physique competition or even to make weight for a sport (e.g., boxing)51:42 Gain fat on protein? Highly improbableAbout our Guest:Dr. Bill Campbell, Ph.D., FISSN, CSCS, is a Professor of Exercise Science and the Director of the Performance & Physique Enhancement Laboratory at the University of South Florida.

We had a fun discussion about the current state of science vis a vis Squats vs. Hip ThrustsSee this paper for more information:https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.06.21.545949v2 Hip thrust and back squat training elicit similar gluteus muscle hypertrophy and transfer similarly to the deadliftTimeline:00:23 – About our special guest, Bret Contreras PhD1:48 – Boca Raton is one big Seinfeld episode3:48 – Bret explains how this study came about3:56 – The infamous Barbalho investigation – to quote Elaine on Seinfeld, “fake, fake, fake.”12:18 – Gluteus medius and minimus didn’t grow13:00 – Gluteus maximus growth was the same between hip thrusts and squats despite the fact that sEMG data showed much greater activity when doing hip thrusts13:56 – No hamstring growth in either group14:11 – Quads and Adductors grew more for the squat group14:30 – Strength gains were specific to the exercise – principle of specificity15:00 – Both groups gained similar strength in deadlift and wall push16:12 – Just do both exercises if the goal is skeletal muscle hypertrophy17:57 – Sprinters have the best hamstring development – Bret opines19:14 – Upper glute size – in the hip thrust group, you had 3 hyper-responders, but then you had 3 that actually experienced muscle atrophy. And you also had 3 that didn’t respond at all. So 1/3rd of the subjects had no response!19:42 – Middle Glute size – in the hip thrust group, one individual actually atrophied.20:45 – Squats produced much more consistent results21:37 – Bret is now quite suspicious of EMG data in predicting skeletal muscle hypertrophy26:12 – Bret talks about how training has changed or not; for men, not so much. For women, it has changed a bit.26:40 – Focus on the basics: squats, deadlifts, hip thrusts, chin ups, military press, and bench press27:10 – Glute training is emphasized a lot more these days, particularly in women31:13 – Targeting the Adductor Magnus! Folks seem to ignore this large muscle and focus on Quads or Hams33:44 – Opening your hips – means hip abduction with external rotation38:48 – For athletes, Tony opines on these issues46:20 – In trained men and women, would there be a difference in hip thrusts vs. squats46:36 – In the real world, nobody volume-equates hip thrusts vs. squats47:10 – You can do more volume with hip thrusts than squats; so a study comparing them in trained people would necessarily result in greater volume in the hip thrust group50:11 – Of course, doing both squats and hip thrusts would work better51:13 – Volume equating training in the endurance world makes no sense either54:30 – Bret has a bad ass gym in Fort Lauderdale.  Don’t stop by unless you want bigger glutes.Our guest:Bret Contreras PhD – bretcontreras.com ·        PhD in Sports Science from AUT University·        Master’s Degree from Arizona State University

Timeline00:00 – About Stacy Sims PhD – scientist, author, former collegiate rower, endurance athlete extraordinaire (former professional cyclist).3:36 – How Dr. Sims visualized and actualized the ISSN’s Position Paper, Full article: International society of sports nutrition position stand: nutritional concerns of the female athlete (tandfonline.com).5:24 – Women are not small men – there are clear sex differences starting at the beginning of life as explained by Dr. Sims7:10 – That annoying term, “metabolic flexibility.” Well, you wouldn’t be alive if you weren’t metabolically flexible.8:57 - Perimenopause and Menopause period – hormonal changes during this time – how does this affect a female athlete’s training. Why do women gravitate towards the ultra-long distance events?15:33 – Dr. Sims recommends that women do more sprint interval training, more high intensity interval training (HIIT)16:10 – the “typical” male endurance training program of 80% LSD (long slow distance) and 20% HIIT or SIT doesn’t apply to women; instead, focus on intensity and less so on LSD.19:25 – Dr. Sim’s loves plyos! We all need to do more of this; it complements resistance training.24:06 - How much strength do women lose each decade; how do you convince women that lifting weights won’t make you large?24:23 – Women, you have two choices when you are 80 years old; do you want to live in assisted living or be a fully independent person?29:30 – Some adaptogens that Dr. Sims loves for women – ashwagandha, maca, rhodiola, and schisandra33:14 - Other more “traditional” supplements – iron, calcium, anti-oxidants (no!), creatine, caffeine, etc. Supps women should take!36:00 – Just taking calcium won’t help bone mineral density!36:45 – Don’t take anti-oxidant supplements! Not good. 38:21 - Creatine and caffeine – Women should ALL take CREATINE dangit!!41:33 - Gut health – what are the benefits of having a healthy gut microbiome – what can we do to insure our gut health?44:25 – American grocery stores are full of shit food! No wonder Americans are so unhealthy; 3 out of every 4 Americans are fat.47:10 – Stacy’s training from high school until now. She was a x-country runner, rower (Purdue University), triathlons (iron man), cycling, xterra racing; she loves gravel racing too! Our guest:STACY T. SIMS, MSC, PHD, is a forward-thinking international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who aims to revolutionize exercise nutrition and performance for women.She has directed research programs at Stanford, AUT University, and the University of Waikato, focusing on female athlete health and performance and pushing the dogma to improve research on all women.With the unique opportunities, Silicon Valley has to offer, during her tenure at Stanford, she had the opportunity to translate earlier research into consumer products and a science-based layperson's book (ROAR) written to explain sex differences in training and nutrition across the lifespan. Both the consumer products and the book challenged the existing dogma for women in exercise, nutrition, and health. This paradigm shift is the focus of her famous "Women Are Not Small Men” TEDx talk.Her contributions to the international research environment and the sports nutrition industry has established a new niche in sports nutrition; and established her reputation as the expert in sex differences in training, nutrition, and health. As a direct result, she has been named:One of the top 50 visionaries of the running industry (2015) by

Timeline00:00 About Dr. Mike Ormsbee – Did you know he played collegiate hockey?5:34 – What prompted Mike to start examining the role of pre-sleep feeding – a cool story8:43 – Muscle protein synthesis (acute data) vs. the important metrics such as body composition and performance11:12 – Whey, casein, vs. plant-based proteins – does it matter what you consume pre-sleep?14:20 – Two participants got rhabdo from 150 reps (eccentric reps with each leg)! 23:10 – Does not matter what you consume before you go to bed. The AUC is the same with whey vs. casein24:00 - Are there any negative implications with sleep vis a vis pre-sleep feeding? Will more protein enhance sleep?28:00 – Pre-sleep feeding of super starch! Does it help performance?32:50 – Dietitians thought Mike was lying about super starches …lol34:40 – Type of carbs pre-race? Does it matter? Depends on the length of the race37:02 - Collagen protein – does it help pain? Or does it help as a protein source? Doing a 9 month study took 4 years! 10 grams better than 20 grams? Hmm…47:38 – Betaine – will this help those exercising in the heat? Very interesting. Dose? 50 mg per kg. Our guest:Mike Ormsbee PhD FACSM FISSN CSCSProfessor and Director of the FSU Institute of Sports Sciences & Medicine.Postdoctoral Training/Visiting Professor, Skidmore College (2008-2010)Ph.D. in Bioenergetics (interdisciplinary program in Exercise Science, Physiology & Nutrient Biochemistry) from East Carolina University.

“Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists (also known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, incretin mimetics, or GLP-1 analogs) represent a class of medications used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus and, in some cases, obesity. Examples of drugs in this class include exenatide, lixisenatide, liraglutide, albiglutide, dulaglutide, and semaglutide. According to the American Diabetes Association, metformin remains the preferred first-line therapy for treating type 2 diabetes. However, the addition of a GLP-1 analog should be considered in patients with a contraindication or intolerance to metformin, in patients with a hemoglobin A1c greater than 1.5% over target, or in patients who do not reach their target A1c in three months, particularly in patients with atherosclerosis, heart failure, or chronic kidney disease.” (Collins and Costello, 2023).Edwin Davila DO MS CISSN is a senior resident of Internal Medicine, TIGMER San Antonio.

Timeline:3:18 Women oxidize fat better than men. This purportedly “should” provide a performance advantage to women in ultra-endurance events. Yet men still win these events and hold the records (in the aggregate). What does Dr. Smith-Ryan say about this?7:48 Are there sex differences vis a vis skeletal muscle fiber type? Are women more fatigue-resistant10:17 Birth control – effects on performance and/or substrate utilization14:07 The only sample that matters is you!15:00 The menstrual cycle – the effects on various indices of female physiology; TDEE goes up by 300-400 kcals!21:00 High end female athletes often want to be amenorrheic – Dr. Smith-Ryan opines.24:46 What is muscle quality? Lift heavy shit.27:07 Many reps with light weights or lift heavy weights with fewer reps?

Because if you say that, you are lying to yourself.35:04 Sex differences in the adaptive response to HIIT?38:22 Sex differences in pain perception? Is it real? Do women perceive less pain post-DOMS protocol?41:40 Protein needs in athletic women vs men? Abbie consumes enough protein😊46:38 Intermittent fasting vs chronic caloric restriction.48:53 Creatine – its effects on women? Supplementation over the menstrual cycle.
