The science of fuelling for endurance sports: what’s on the plate?

Ever wondered how athletes fuel their endurance engines? This session will explore how ‘the plate’ of an endurance athlete can influence their performance. We will uncover the science behind nutritional strategies to enhance endurance performance, discussing key controversies such as the carbohydrate vs. fat debate. The session will be led by Dr Ed Gray, Lecturer in Applied Sport Physiology. Ed is currently conducting research investigating how different fuelling approaches influence exercise.
