The Effect of Different Post-Exercise Beverages with Food on Voluntary Dietary Intake and Subsequent Performance
(Annual Meeting of the American-College-of-Sports-Medicine (ACSM), 2019)PURPOSE: Recent evidence suggests that different beverages promote similar fluid recovery but alter nutrient provision when consumed voluntarily with food post-exercise (Campagnolo et al., 2017; McCartney et al., In Press). ...CONFERENCE OUTPUT -
Skin Tattoos Do Not Affect Exercise-induced Sweat Rate Or Sodium Concentration
(Annual Meeting of the American-College-of-Sports-Medicine (ACSM), 2019)PURPOSE: Skin tattoos have been shown to reduce sweat rate and increase sweat sodium concentration when sweating is artificially stimulated. This study investigated whether similar responses are observed with exercise-induced ...CONFERENCE OUTPUT -
Effects of Duration and Intensity of Aerobic Exercise on Cognitive Performance in Trained Individuals
