The recently published UCI Sports Nutrition Project paper on road cycling provides one of the most comprehensive overviews to date of race nutrition in professional road cycling (1)(CLICK HERE). It was a privilege to bring together a group of scientists and practitioners working directly with WorldTour teams, to write a scientific paper and describe evolution or revolution of nutrition in this sport that is leading the way in applied sports nutrition. This paper aimed not to

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is gaining attention as a tool for optimising dietary counselling in athletes. By providing real-time glucose data, CGMs offer the potential to enhance our understanding of how athletes’ bodies respond to training, recovery, and nutrition. In our study, published in the European Journal of Sport Science, we investigated the use of CGMs in Para athletes to explore their potential applications and limitations. New study on CGM in Para cyclist

One of the most researched supplements on the market is creatine. Creatine combined with strength training has been shown to consistently help individuals gain more muscle mass, strength, power, and muscle function across the lifespan (from adolescents to older adults). The effects on endurance performance are much less studied, but there is a growing body of evidence that creatine can benefit endurance athletes in critical race situations such as finishing kicks or breakaway

Ketone ester supplements continue to receive attention from athletes for their claimed potential to enhance endurance exercise performance. The basis of this interest stems from being able to drink this supplement and quickly induce ketosis (high blood levels of ketone bodies) without the need to restrict dietary carbohydrate (for example, adhering to a ketogenic diet). It is becoming increasingly clear that ketone supplements influence exercise responses, however scientists
