“Although many beneficial effects of time- or calorie-restricted eating in humans have been identified, many questions still remain regarding fitness and performance. The timing of eating and exercise, especially in elite athletes, hasn't been studied and may, in fact, require self-experimentation by the athletes to identify the perfect interval of fasting to support their optimal performance.”

“A meta-analysis of 123 randomized trials found that nitrate improved exercise performance most consistently when supplied through beetroot juice or a high-nitrate diet, especially for efforts lasting two to ten minutes.”

“In this Aliquot, Dr. George Brooks – who identified the lactate shuttle – Dr. Martin Gibala, and I discuss how lactate supports healthy brain function and enhances cognitive performance.”

“Cryotherapy and athletic performance Cold exposure improves athletic performance and recovery, but the benefits come with two caveats: the timing of the cold stressor and the type of the exercise performed. Shortly after exercise the body initiates a cascade of pro-inflammatory responses.”

“Even neurotransmitters have circadian rhythms, and thus our problem-solving ability, alertness, and mood vary throughout the day. Cognitive performance typically peaks in a narrow window during the first half of the day and is also impacted by sleep.”

“It does this by increasing brown fat and enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis – obvious ways to help the body stay warm. But the downstream effects of the response include reduced inflammation, improved mood, and – at least in endurance athletes – better performance.”

“In this FoundMyFitness interview clip with Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Dr. Layne Norton places creatine monohydrate in his highest evidence tier because it supports repeated high-intensity performance, strength, and gains in lean mass.”
