Protein masterclass

'Protein Masterclass' with Dr. Oliver Witard unpacks one of the most discussed yet misunderstood areas of sports nutrition. Across three talks, Dr. Witard examines how much protein athletes really need, which protein sources are most effective, and whether timing truly influences recovery and adaptation. This session is designed to move beyond myths and trends and provide clear, evidence-based guidance that athletes, coaches, practitioners, and students can apply in practice.

What we will cover: 
   How much protein do athletes really need for recovery and adaptation?
   Are very high protein intakes harmful for athletes?
   Which protein sources are best: animal, plant, or alternative proteins?
   Does protein timing really matter, or is the 'anabolic window' overstated? 
   What is the optimal daily protein intake to support performance?

Dr. Oliver Witard

Oliver is a Reader in Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism in the Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine at King’s College London and Deputy Lead of the undergraduate programme in Sport and Exercise Medical Sciences. Oliver’s research interests are focussed on protein nutrition for maximising muscle adaptation to exercise training. His publications focus on establishing the optimal dose, source and timing of dietary protein for muscle recovery and performance in athletes. He has extensive expertise in stable isotopic tracer methodology for measuring in vivo muscle protein turnover in humans, and also applies these techniques to older adult populations with application to healthy ageing. Oliver has published over 80 journal articles and has delivered invited talks at international symposiums and industry events, including International Sport and Exercise Nutrition Conference (ISENC), the inaugural FC Barcelona hosted Congress in Sport Nutrition, ACSM, and The European Nutrition Society congress.
