Allostatic load in sport
Allostasis is commonly defined as achieving stability through change. Historically, the concept refers to how humans adapt to new or changing environmental and physiological demands. It is closely related to homeostasis but provides a broader and more integrative framework.
This live webinar will examine the principle of allostatic load in the context of sport and athletic adaptation. Our expert speakers will explore how cumulative stress from training and non-training factors may influence adaptation and performance, and will address key questions such as: How can allostatic load be conceptualised and assessed in athletes? What potential insights might be gained from monitoring it? And what strategies may help minimise the risk of allostatic overload?

Professor Michael Gleeson
Professor Michael (Mike) Gleeson is a biochemist and exercise physiologist with a PhD in energy metabolism, whose academic career has focused on the interaction between diet, exercise, and physiological adaptation. His early research examined how dietary manipulation influences metabolism and performance during high-intensity exercise, before expanding to include the effects of exercise on immune function, an area in which he is internationally recognised.
Over an illustrious career, Professor Gleeson has published over 200 peer-reviewed papers in exercise physiology, biochemistry, immunology, and sports nutrition, and is widely recognised as a leading authority in exercise immunology and exercise biochemistry. He co-authored several influential textbooks, including the widely used Sport Nutrition, as well as texts in exercise biochemistry and exercise immunology. Since retiring in 2016, he has written a series of evidence-based lifestyle books for the general public, including Eat, Move, Sleep, Repeat and Beating Type 2 Diabetes.
