Dr Samuel Impey, at the UKSCA's 2022 Conference, discusses utilising implementation science to design, develop and deliver interventions to influence athlete behaviours in elite sport.

The objective of this session is to discuss how a combined nutrition and physical preparation approach to performance profiling, diagnostics and planning was implemented, to identify and achieve sports performance objectives.

This article will critically examine classic and contemporary literature to answer the question, “Are sugary drinks still the key to prolonged performance?”.

In this article a nutritionist explains factors to consider concerning youth athletes and makes recommendations for their nutritional intake.

This article explains the GI as well as Glycemic Load, discussing how they can be used to reduce body fat, promote lean muscle growth, prevent fatigue and enhance recovery.

This article aims to give an informed overview of nutrition and provide practical advice for iron-distance triathletes and their coaches.

Endurance exercise training induces several adaptations in skeletal muscle. This article explores increase in mitochondrial mass, permitting high-intensity exercise for longer.

Some sports have inherent requirement for low fat mass. Losing fat represents balance between providing adequate energy for performance, while maintaining a necessary calorie deficit.

Over the last 10 years, the authors have worked with elite athletes in a variety of sports, educating athletes and correcting dietary mistakes.

This article examines the need for sufficient protein to promote muscle growth/strength, and explores the efficacy of protein for recovery from resistance exercise.

This review summarises current literature, promoting best practice for practitioners working with pregnant athletes.

This session simplifies the complexity of female biology by highlighting and critically evaluating studies and identifying key areas for further investigation.

This article will critically evaluate research on the gut's role in immune function, water and nutrient absorption, gastrointestinal complaints and intestinal injury during exercise.

This article addresses the increasing problem of inadvertent doping through supplement use. Clear recommendations to help athletes minimise the risk of inadvertent doping will be provided.

This article examines causes of fatigue during sport preparation and discusses their elimination using nutritional supplements to increase muscle buffer capacity.
