🥛 Last week I presented our work comparing soya drink and cow's milk as food-first tools to mitigate exercise-induced muscle damage at ECSS.

📢 Using a randomised, double blind, placebo controlled design, we demonstrate that soya drink is a comparable alternative to the widely used cow's milk.

Our new durability paper is out in SJMSS!

We tested how endurance performance determinants change after heavy-intensity running (90 and 120 min) in well-trained marathoners.

📌Below details of what we’ve found.

🩸Blood collection tubes matter!

📊 17β-estradiol & progesterone concn were higher in EDTA plasma vs. serum.

⚠️Researchers should adjust for higher plasma levels to ensure appropriate classification of menstrual cycle status.
