Reading a recent tweet from Inigo Mujika about who he was having dinner with before the Eat To Win Conference in Paris this week got me thinking about who are the best people to read in sports nutrition. Pubmed searches for the following sports scientists should be performed regularly to stay on top of the ever growing literature in sports nutrition. By the time books are published, the information is typically out dated by around a year. Which is fine for text books, coaching manuals etc but not good if you’re looking for the most up to date information in sports nutrition, hence reading the primary literature is the only way to be right on top of the latest information. Here are the key players to search for and who are also speaking at the Eat To Win Conference http://static.ow.ly/docs/Nutrition%20conference%20INSEP_qwi.pdf: Sports Nutrition: Louise Burke Sports Science: John Hawley Protein: Kevin Tipton Carbohydrate: Asker Jeukendrup Immune Function: David Nieman Sports Supplements: Ronald Maughan Team & Endurance Sports: Inigo Mujika Comments Comments are closed. |
