Lecturer in Sport, Exercise and Health @uninorthants. PhDc, studying the impact of carbohydrate restriction and exogenous ketones on exercise physiology
Oxfordshire
Joined January 2012
Our publication 'Strategic carbohydrate feeding improves performance in ketogenic trained athletes' has been published. This is the first study to our knowledge assessing the impact of carbohydrate on 'chronically ketogenic' (min 12 months) athletes. Short 🧵 what we found.

How did #UON research help connect #Northampton’s Active Quarter so members of the community can get the most of the town’s green spaces? Assoc. Prof. @DrDecRyan explains at his #CafeScientifique talk.

🥓🔬 KETOGENIC ADAPTATION, CARBS & PERFORMANCE — WHAT THE SCIENCE SAYS ⚡ @PaulBLaursen talks with @MattCarpenter14 about what changes (and what doesn’t) when endurance athletes go low-carb and stay there.

New insights into glycogen recovery in endurance athletes 🧵 1️⃣ Our new study in The Journal of Physiology tested how muscle + liver glycogen recover after exhaustive cycling in well-trained cyclists.

There have been big changes across #Northampton to improve access to #greenspaces. We've been at the forefront of #research about the impact of these initiatives, incl. from @DrDecRyan. He'll talk about some of his findings at Café Scientifique 18 Sep - https://t.co/Px37WhbJAF

In this one, carbohydrate ingestion enhanced performance only when consumed immediately prior to exercise, but not when consumed in the 48 h before exercise, in recreational athletes following a ketogenic diet.

High-altitude (HA) exposure induces an integrated physiological response to mitigate hypoxemia. Exogenous ketosis at simulated HA was previously shown to accentuate sympathetic activation and...

1 year keto folks tested on 2 different 'carb loading' protocols @ProfTimNoakes @DoctorTro @AKoutnik @robbwolf @luis_villasenor
Only acute, pre-exercise carb feeding enhanced performance. This suggests that the ergogenic effects of carbs may be mediated through central nervous system mechanisms or via the prevention of hypoglycaemia, rather than through delayed metabolic pathways.

Anyone remember the "Targeted Ketogenic Diet" from years ago? It never was based on research but now we have some 👇 Basically 60g carbs pre workout enhanced performance but post workout they still maintained ketones of 0.5mmol it looks like. So just about still in

Despite the athletes being on ketogenic diets, they were still able to substantially increase carbohdyrate oxidation through both acute and two-day carbohydrate feeding. But the two-day carbohydrate feed did not improve performance (despite increasing carbohydrate oxidation).

In athletes who has been following a ketogenic diet for at least 1 year (mean time on diet 25±12 months), we used 4 conditions to measure the impact of pre exercise carbohydrates on execrise metabolism and cycling time trial performance.

More support for the theory that carbohydrates exist in 2 pools (Small and Large Glucose Pools) that are separately regulated and it is the Small Pool in the liver and blood stream (not the large pool in the skeletal muscles), that contributes to human exercise performance

Our results indicate that carbohydrate ingestion enhances performance only when consumed immediately prior to exercise. This suggests that the ergogenic effects are likely mediated through central...
