Low Energy Availability and Weight Management in Ultrarunning | Koopcast Episode 40

In this episode of the KoopCast Coach Jason Koop speaks with José Areta. José L Areta currently works as a lecturer in Sports Nutrition and Metabolism at the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at Liverpool John Moors University. José’s primary interest is in the area of training-nutrient interactions in humans. In other words, he investigates how to manipulate ingestion of carbohydrates, fat and protein around training to optimise physical performance and health. His scientific work has been published in influential journals such as The Journal of Physiology, The American Journal of Physiology, Endocrinology and Metabolism, The Journal of Applied Physiology and Sports Medicine, among others. The outputs of his research have not only expanded the knowledge of the field but had significant impact and influence on determining current dietary recommendations and practices world-wide. His work has provided novel insights in relation to the amount, timing, quantity and distribution of carbohydrates, fat and protein and dietary supplements around training. Over the last few years José has been developing his research in the area of the endocrinological, metabolic and physiological effects of energy restriction, in which he is currently growing his research team and capability. José is also a coach for elite cyclists and triathletes and he brings his research into practice when working with those athletes. José on Twitte: jlAreta José university website
