Research Update and Practical Implications: Fueling for Recovery and Sleep, sponsored by Science in Sport

What are the latest nutrition strategies to optimize recovery and promote sleep? This webinar will examine the latest scientific evidence on post-exercise carbohydrate and protein co-ingestion for glycogen resynthesis and amino acid availability, alongside emerging findings on a multi-ingredient nutritional blend designed to reduce sleep latency and improve sleep efficiency. Novel research from controlled laboratory studies and free-living trials will be highlighted, bridging mechanistic physiology with applied outcomes. The session will translate cutting-edge science into practical recommendations, equipping attendees with evidence-based strategies to optimize recovery and sleep in athletic contexts.

Presenters:

  • Miss Sophie Hannon - PhD Student at Manchester Metropolitan University (UK)
  • Dr. Carl Langan-Evans - Senior Lecturer in Strength and Conditioning at Liverpool John Moores University (UK)
