Exclusive Insights: Protein Science and Sports Nutrition

Join us for an exclusive deep dive into protein science with world-renowned experts Prof. Luc van Loon, Leigh Breen, and Graeme Close. This video presents their innovative protein strategies, presented at the 29th Annual Congress of the European College of Sport Science, for enhancing muscle recovery and performance and offers practical applications of the science.

Highlights Include:

  • “In this symposium, I spoke about how the source and quality of the protein that we ingest can influence our muscle adaptive response to resistance exercise.” – Prof. Leigh Breen1Professor of Translational Muscle Physiology and Director of the Metabolic and Molecular Physiology Group (MMPG), University of
    Birmingham
  •  “The quality of a protein is defined by its capacity, the rate of digestion and absorption, as well as its amino acid composition.” – Prof. Luc van Loon2Professor of Physiology of Exercise and Nutrition and Head of
    M3-research group, Department of Human Biology, Maastricht
    University
  •  “If I were to summarize today’s presentation, I’d do it around what we call the three Ts of sports nutrition: total, timing, and type. With emerging science around different types of protein having distinct advantages at various times of the day, we explored how we can manipulate the type of protein to maximize the benefits to training.” – Prof. Graeme Close 3Professor of Human Physiology, Liverpool John Moores University
    and Sports Nutrition Consultant
