In this 3-part lecture series, the speakers examine the latest science on sports nutrition supplements, including new and emerging products being used by athletes to enhance performance. The series explores which ergogenic supplements are supported by evidence, which are not, and what current research means for applied practice.

What we will cover:
    Which supplements are supported by evidence to enhance athletic performance?
    Which commonly used supplements are unlikely to deliver meaningful benefits?
    What are the latest developments in new and emerging ergogenic supplements?
    How should athletes and practitioners assess whether a supplement is worth using?    What does the current science mean for supplement use in real-world sport?
