Nutrition and Hydration Hacks for Peak Performance

Achieving peak athletic performance isn’t just about training hard—what you eat and drink plays a crucial role in powering your body and optimizing recovery. Recent meta-analyses and systematic reviews provide a strong evidence base for practical strategies that athletes and fitness enthusiasts can use. 1. The Power of Protein—Especially With Carbohydrates A comprehensive meta-analysis of 28 randomized controlled trials explored whether increased protein intake boosts athletic performance. While overall protein supplementation did not show a statistically significant benefit for athletic performance as a whole, subgroup analysis paints a clearer picture: combining protein with carbohydrates notably improved endurance performance and muscle glycogen levels. This means that while simply upping your protein alone may not move the needle, pairing it strategically with carbs—especially pre- or post-workout—can help fuel endurance and speed recovery. Athletic Lab trusts Thorne for all our supplementation needs. Hack: For endurance athletes, consume a combination of protein and carbohydrates after workouts (e.g., a recovery shake with both whey protein and oats). 2. Dietary Supplements: Carbs, Electrolytes, and Caffeine A recent network meta-analysis involving 1,425 athletes compared the effects of 31 different dietary supplements. Results highlighted that carbohydrate + protein and carbohydrate + electrolyte drinks were associated with very large improvements in distance covered and reduced perceived exertion during exercise. Caffeine, creatine, and melatonin also provided targeted benefits, such as increased jump height, reduced sprint times, and improved agility. Hack: For high-intensity or competitive sports, a sports drink containing both carbs and electrolytes, possibly with caffeine, can delay fatigue and enhance performance. 3. Hydration—The Underrated Performance Booster Even mild dehydration can have a significant physiological impact. A systematic review and meta-analysis confirmed that dehydration impairs muscle strength by around 5.5% and anaerobic power by nearly [...]

How to make a New Year’s Resolutions you will keep

Happy New Year from Athletic Lab. If you're one of the millions around the world making health, fitness or lifestyle related New Years Resolutions for 2024 know that you're not along. Making a New Year's resolution is a common tradition, but keeping them can be challenging. If you've tried and failed in the past, know that the goal should not be perfection but consistency. To this end, it's important to take small steps towards a conservative and sustainable goal. Don't look at your desired change as a challenge but as something that you're looking to modify for the better for the rest of your life. Here are some tips to help you create and stick to a resolution: Set Realistic Goals: Be realistic about what you can achieve. Setting overly ambitious goals may lead to frustration and discouragement. Be Specific: Clearly define your resolution. Instead of a vague goal like "lose weight," set a specific target like "lose 10 pounds by April." Break it Down: Divide your resolution into smaller, manageable tasks. This makes your goal seem less daunting and more achievable. Create a Plan: Develop a step-by-step plan to achieve your resolution. Outline the actions you need to take and set deadlines for each step. Make it Measurable: Use metrics to track your progress. If your resolution is to exercise more, set a specific number of days per week or minutes per day. One of the reasons we use assessments, testing and bench marks so regularly at Athletic Lab is to ensure that you can SEE your progress. Hold Yourself Accountable: Share your resolution with friends or family who can provide support and encouragement. You're more likely to stay committed if others are aware [...]

Healthy Holiday Eating Tips

The holidays are upon us! And with that comes plenty of opportunities to eat great, and often really unhealthy, food. More than that, we often eat far more than we probably should.  A typical holiday dinner alone can be over 4,000 calories! It's no wonder, people tend to put on unwanted weight during the holidays. Eating healthily during the holidays can be a challenge, but it's certainly possible with some thoughtful planning. Here are some tips for enjoying a healthy holiday meal: Balance Your Plate Fill half your plate with vegetables, aiming for a variety of colors. Vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet. We'd suggest reserving a quarter of your plate for lean proteins like turkey, chicken, fish, or plant-based alternatives. Use the remaining quarter for whole grains or starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes. Mindful Eating Eat slowly and savor each bite. This gives your body time to recognize that it's full, helping to prevent overeating. Put your fork down between bites and engage in conversation. It can take up to 20 minutes to feel full and sated AFTER you're actually full. By slowing down, this can help you become more aware of your hunger and fullness cues. Watch Portions Be mindful of portion sizes. Use smaller plates to help control portions and prevent overeating. Consider serving dishes family-style rather than placing them on the table. This makes it easier to control portion sizes and helps prevent mindless eating. Healthy Cooking Methods Choose healthier cooking methods like baking, roasting, grilling, or steaming instead of frying. Limit the use of added fats and oils. Opt for healthier fats like olive oil and use them in [...]

A Comprehensive Guide to Protein Requirements for Resistance Trained Athletes

In the realm of fitness and athleticism, one of the most debated topics is the optimal amount of protein intake for resistance-trained athletes. Whether you're a bodybuilder sculpting your physique or a weightlifter chasing new personal records, understanding your protein needs is essential for maximizing muscle growth, recovery, and overall performance. In this post, we'll delve into the science behind protein consumption, dispel common myths, and provide practical recommendations tailored to the unique demands of resistance training. The Basics of Protein and Muscle Growth Protein is an indispensable macronutrient that plays a crucial role in building and repairing tissues, including the skeletal muscles that are central to resistance training. When you engage in activities like weightlifting, your muscles undergo stress and damage at a microscopic level. Adequate protein intake is necessary to facilitate the repair and synthesis of new muscle proteins, promoting hypertrophy or muscle growth. The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for protein set by health authorities is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. However, resistance-trained athletes have significantly higher demands due to the increased wear and tear on their muscles. The focus shifts from merely meeting basic bodily needs to optimizing protein intake for enhanced athletic performance and recovery. Protein Needs for Resistance-Trained Athletes The optimal protein intake for resistance-trained athletes is a multifaceted subject influenced by various factors, including training intensity, frequency, type, and individual differences in metabolism and body composition. Research suggests a broad range of protein intake for athletes, and it's crucial to tailor recommendations to specific goals. Muscle Maintenance and General Fitness: 1.2-1.6 g/kg For individuals engaging in moderate resistance training to maintain general fitness, a protein intake ranging from 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight [...]

A Comprehensive Comparison of Whey, Casein, and Soy Protein

Protein is an essential nutrient that plays a vital role in maintaining and repairing the body's tissues, making it an integral part of a balanced diet. It is especially important for strength training athletes. Three popular protein sources—whey, casein, and soy—offer unique benefits and cons. In this blog post, we'll explore the pros and cons of each protein type, backed by scientific research, to help you make an informed choice. Athletic Lab has partnered with Thorne - the industry leading sports and health supplement company. You can find these and many other health and performance supplements in our Thorne dispensary where Athletic Lab's Mike Young has hand selected his most recommended products.  Athletic Lab members are eligible for significantly discounted prices by contacting us to set up their personal access code. Now let's take a look at the three most popular forms of protein supplements. Whey Protein Whey protein is derived from milk and is a complete protein source, meaning it contains all essential amino acids. Benefits of Whey Protein: Rapid Absorption: Whey protein is known for its rapid digestion and absorption. A study published in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism showed that whey protein leads to a significant increase in plasma amino acids, making it ideal for post-workout recovery. High in BCAAs: Whey protein is rich in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), especially leucine. Research published in the Journal of Nutrition suggests that whey protein supplementation enhances muscle protein synthesis.

Evidence-based Fundamentals of Sports Nutrition by Chase Overpeck

[This is a guest post by Chase Overpeck. Chase is a senior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and undergraduate researcher in the Exercise Oncology Research Lab. He holds a USA Weightlifting L-1 and is a certified sports nutritionist through the ISSN. He is currently taking part in the Athletic Lab Coaching Mentorship Program. Chase enjoys competing in weightlifting and coaching baseball in his free time.] All too often, individuals change their habits to become more fit by beginning a new exercise program, but fail to realize or be informed about the nutritional implications of their lifestyle. Imagine buying a new car that requires premium grade gasoline. Filling the vehicle with lower quality fuel than recommended will increase the chances that your engine becomes damaged. This analogy holds true for any level of athlete; insufficient nutrition can inhibit performance and recovery while elevating injury risk (Ray & Fowler 2004). In this blog, we will discuss the role of macronutrients, nutrient timing, and the development of weight-related goals. Additionally, we aim to simplify the process of calculating specific values such as basal metabolic rate (BMR) and activity adjusted energy expenditure as well as provide rationale when developing a meal plan so that you can easily implement this model for yourself and/or clients. DISCLAIMER: The contents of this article should only be applied to athletic populations. Members of clinical populations may need considerations outside the scope of this discussion and should consult a professional that understands these differences. MACRONUTRIENT BASICS CARBOHYDRATE Carbohydrates serve as the human body’s primary source of energy and are categorized based on molecular complexity.

Does Caffeine help your sports performance? by Jarod Connell

[Jarod Connell graduated from NC State University with a degree in Human Biology and a minor in Sports Science. He is certified as a NASM-CPT and is taking part in the Athletic Lab Coaching Mentorship program.] Caffeine has long been used as an ergogenic aid in sports. How much do we really know about it or how much it helps us? Caffeine has been used in sports since the early 1900s due to its perceived ability to stimulate muscle and overcome mental fatigue (17). However, it wasn’t until the 1940s that notable research began to appear (17). In this blog, we’ll explore what caffeine does within our bodies and how it impacts sports performance. What does caffeine do in our body? Caffeine is shown to inhibit adenosine receptors and mostly targets the A1 and A2 adenosine receptors. This leads to increases in pain suppression, firing rates of motor units, and neurotransmitter release (1). Adenosine is shown to decrease some Central Nervous System (CNS) neurotransmitters, including dopamine, serotonin, acetylcholine, glutamate, and norepinephrine. This means adenosine slows down our neural activity and makes us sleepy (22). Because caffeine’s chemical structure resembles adenosine it inhibits adenosine from binding and binds to the receptors itself, increasing the concentration of these neurotransmitters, and thereby actually increasing neural activity and alertness (1). Caffeine was previously believed to increase lipolysis, the breakdown of fats for energy, saving our muscle glycogen from being used, and release of calcium from our intracellular stores. However, a study in 2010 by Davis and Green reported that a standard dose of caffeine doesn’t indicate that these mechanisms play a large role (14). This lines up with what was found in the Institute of Medicine article which reports [...]

Most coaches stop sets based on how athletes look, rather than how they are actually moving. VBT allows you to set a simple cutoff by monitoring bar speed. A bar speed drop of more than 20% from the first rep is an indicator that no matter how the athlete looks or what percentage of 1RM they are supposed to be moving, that they are fatigued beyond the necessary output they need to reach the target stimulus. We shut down the set so that we don’t keep the athlete accumulating a bunch of junk reps.

Top 5 Reasons to use VBT with your athletes: Reason #3: Objective load & zone prescription. Research over the years has mapped clear velocity zones for different strength qualities. Accelerative strength, strength speed, speed strength, and starting strength all live in different velocity zones. While percentage based training can target these qualities by prescribing an “ideal” load that can allow for different velocities, verifying the quality of the reps becomes a coaches visual interpretation and is subjective. Using VBT gives a clear picture of the athletes bar speed and verifies the quality of the bar speed and whether or not the target is hit on every rep.

We know there are weight room activities - squats, cleans, plyos, etc that contribute to speed development but we also know that these activities don’t come close enough to the intensity of forces and contraction speeds seen during a max velocity sprint. Therefore the best way to become faster is…..to sprint.

To reach a proper stimulus, sprinting must be done at 95%+ of the athletes max velocity. Do not confuse this with EFFORT. An athlete can be at an RPE of 10 yet not sprinting at 95%+ of their max velocity. So even if an athlete is running fast, even running as fast as they can, it doesn’t mean they are sprinting.
