The importance of nutrient timing

Explore our lecture on “The importance of nutrient timing” with Professor Asker Jeukendrup. In this lecture, Asker examines the evidence behind nutrient timing, exploring when timing matters for carbohydrate, protein, and sodium bicarbonate intake, and when it may be less important than total intake or individual context. The lecture translates classic and current research into practical recommendations for fuelling, recovery, adaptation, and performance.

What we will cover:
When does carbohydrate timing really matter?

Does pre-exercise carbohydrate increase the risk of hypoglycaemia?

How important is protein timing after exercise?

Can pre-sleep protein feeding improve net protein balance?

Does sodium bicarbonate timing need to be individualised?
