Calling on Performance Nutrition & sports science professionals! Dear Performance Nutritionist community, I am reaching out to tap into the wealth of knowledge within our community. If you're a performance nutritionist or have expertise in the field, I would love to hear about your approaches to injury prevention and rehabilitation from a nutrition standpoint. Your insights and experiences could significantly contribute to the richness of my research. As I find myself working currently in rugby I would love to hear any thoughts from rugby professionals. Because Rugby stands out with one of the highest reported incidences of match injuries in professional sports, irrespective of the injury definition employed. In a physically demanding sport like rugby, where tendons and connective tissues bear significant forces, how do you tailor nutritional strategies for athletes, especially in the context of injury prevention and recovery? Have you heard any new supplementation claims? Feel free to share any valuable resources, methodologies, or case studies. #PerformanceNutrition #SportsScience #RugbyNutrition #InjuryPrevention #ResearchCommunity 🌐📚

What did I eat during a 5 day ultra-marathon? As a sports dietitian I felt quite big pressure to get this right. I have written a in-depth review of my nutrition across the week at Ultra X Jordan. I appreciate this is one race, and each race will have different requirements, temperatures and conditions which will affect nutrition provision and strategies. So therefore, please note, this blog post is not me recommending what you should eat, but more an opportunity to review this and maybe give a couple of top tips. NUTRITION - I managed to eat a range between 35-60g/hour carbohydrate whilst running across the week. - Had a big mix of real food options throughout the week and 1x large freeze dried meal per day - Appetite was good over the whole race and energy levels were as good as I feel they could have been given the distances FEW TIPS - Stick to what you know and what you like. Don’t get lured into having different options just because others are. - Make sure you practice everything before and ideally test it out in the same conditions. - Mix it up everyday to give you variety - Give yourself a treat, it’ll really boost your mood - A common theme around camp was ‘I took what I thought I needed, rather than what I actually wanted to eat’ Read all about it here: https://lnkd.in/eAMYBfDT Next up - review of research recommendations and feedback from the desert

I am incredibly proud of our team at 2before Performance Nutrition and how they have taken the positive power of blackcurrants from New Zealand to the world of high-performance sport. It’s terrific to see that 2before Performance Nutrition pre-workout supplements have been used by top athletes as they prepare for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris in less than a fortnight. 2before Performance Nutrition was born out of science from Government owned The New Zealand Institute for Plant and Food Research Limited and a growing body of evidence that proved blackcurrants could improve athletic performance and speed up recovery through a highly unique mode of action. New Zealand blackcurrants aren’t just any other berry. This powerful polyphenol superfood delivers enhanced performance and faster recovery thanks to a unique and one-of-a-kind combination of anthocyanins that can’t be found anywhere else in the world. It’s not only Olympic athletes who have discovered the benefits of 2before Performance Nutrition, which has caught the attention of players and teams in some of the world’s most prestigious sports leagues like the National Basketball Association (NBA) and National Football League (NFL) in the United States and in Australia's National Rugby League and AFL - Australian Football League. 2before Performance Nutrition is now also seeing many top United States universities come on board as customers as they look to improve the performance of teams and athletes. But it's not just elite athletes who are discovering the benefits of this amazing little berry from New Zealand. 2before Performance Nutrition is getting quite the global following in the running community thanks to the belief of advocates and runners like Jeremy Miller. #Olympics #Sport #Running

🏌️♂️The Masters: A Testament to Integrity in Golf 🏌️♂️ The Masters Golf Tournament rolls onto Augusta, showcasing the world's best golfers and reflecting the PGA's unwavering commitment to clean competition. Golf carries a pristine image thanks partly to a lack of doping concerns. This prestigious event brings to light the importance of adherence to anti-doping policies and the consequences of inadvertent doping, as seen in the case of golfer Byeong Hun An. 🏆 A Fairway to Integrity 🏆 Byeong Hun An's suspension in 2023 for violating the PGA Tour's PED policy through the unintentional consumption of a banned substance that was in his cough medicine underscores the razor-thin margins between competing at the highest level and facing the repercussions of a doping violation. The PGA Tour adheres to stringent anti-doping measures, contracting Drug Free Sport to conduct random testing aligned with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) standards. This incident, created by taking over-the-counter medication in his native Korea, resulted in a three-month suspension. 💊 The Unseen Hazards of Competition 💊 An's story is a reminder that athletes are surrounded by medications, dietary supplements, and CBD products that may put them at risk of inadvertently ingesting a banned substance that can cause a positive drug test. An accidentally ingested a banned substance in his cough medicine, but a similar issue could have just as easily come from a contaminated dietary supplement or tainted CBD oil. ⛳Advocating for Clean Sport ⛳ As The Masters approaches, the golf community is reminded of each player's critical role in fostering a culture of clean competition. The PGA's commitment to this cause is exemplified by its transparent handling of PED violations, ensuring that golf remains a sport celebrated for its skill, sportsmanship, and ethical competition. Medications, dietary supplements, CBD products, and even sunscreens may contain banned substances that put athletes at risk of inadvertent positive drug tests. Third-party certification serves as a defense against contaminated supplements or other consumer products by batch testing products for banned substances in sports. To master your supplement game, look for third-party certified products from BSCG Certified Drug Free, BSCG Certified CBD, or other reputable providers like NSF Certified for Sport® or Informed Sport and check your medications with a service like the Global DRO. 🏌️♀️Teeing Off with Integrity 🏌️♀️ The Masters Tournament is more than just a competition; it's a global stage where the spirit of golf is encapsulated in breathtaking shots, green jackets, and the underlying principles of integrity and fairness. As players walk the hallowed grounds of Augusta National, they do so with the responsibility of upholding these values, ensuring that the legacy of clean sport continues to be interwoven with the fabric of golf. #themasters #golf #supplements

🏉 Rugby, Supplements, and Banned Substances 🏉 The Rugby World Cup. This blood, sweat, and torn ears event is a must see. Rugby players are unique athletes who must be muscled, fit, and skilled. Those prerequisites place significant demands on a body that gets battered and bruised every week, so supplements are often a big part of their routines. Follow The Leader The All Blacks are arguably the world’s most dominant rugby team. As persistent favorites to win the Webb Ellis Cup (starting 8th September), they also set the bar for their approach to sports supplements. Their official stance on supplements via High Performance Sport New Zealand (HPSNZ) is this. “Harmful ingredients, incorrectly labeled, and contaminated products are often only discovered after the product has been ingested by athletes and consumers. Choosing a dietary supplement that has been independently batch tested substantially reduces the risk for consuming a product contaminated with substances banned in sport.” HPSNZ cites a study that found as many as 1 in 5 dietary supplements are contaminated, either intentionally or through poor manufacturing, with substances on WADA’s prohibited list. The Best Rugby Supplement South Africa, Australia, and England all share New Zealand’s approach to dietary supplements, suggesting athletes use products that are batch-tested for banned substances. England Rugby even offers advice suggesting the supplements with the most evidence to support rugby players are whey protein, casein protein, creatine, and caffeine. These are well-known entities in any athlete's tool kit. However, one contaminated product can pose risks for athletes, first responders, or tactical professionals who are drug-tested for work. Rugby players face the same risk. There are numerous examples, like Australian Thomas Carr, who tested positive for banned substances, which he believes came from a pre-workout drink. For Rugby players, it’s essential not to have drugs hidden in a supplement, but the average Joe doesn’t want to be sucking down pharmaceuticals either. Setting Higher Standards While the World Cup celebrates diverse nations battling the same playing field, third-party certification for banned substances is vital for all countries. It addresses evolving sports regulations and gives athletes the peace of mind they deserve on their journey to greatness. Additionally, certified products provide quality assurance to consumers and brands that want to ensure they get what they claim. The BSCG Certified Drug Free and Certified CBD programs test every batch of a product for banned substances, as do Informed Sport and HASTA, and also include a rigorous initial quality control process review. Regardless of who you’ll be shouting for during this tournament, the winners will have gotten there thanks to clean supplements that have been batch tested, or they risk being a victim of yet another contaminated supplement. #rugbyworldcup2023 #wada #sportscience
