We turn a critical eye onto a recent position paper on the nutritional needs of female athletes, focusing specifically on the paper's recommendations for pre- and post-workout carbohydrate and protein intake. We dive deep into the evidence presented in the paper and discuss whether the recommendations are supported by the cited research.
Expect to Learn:
