Training the gut

The gut is an extremely adaptable organ and can be “trained” in a similar way to the way we train the muscle. In this webinar Prof. Asker Jeukendrup will explore the science behind "training the gut" and discuss practical strategies for gut training, with consideration for the latest science.

What we will cover:
What does training the gut refer to?

Which athletes should consider training the gut?

What are the benefits of training the gut for athletic performance?
What are the best approaches to improve gut tolerance?
How can athletes incorporate gut training into their weekly training schedule?

This is a webinar for practitioners, scientists, students, coaches, and curious athletes who want to truly understand how training the gut can improve performance.

Professor Asker Jeukendrup

Asker Jeukendrup has spent more than thirty years working at the forefront of carbohydrate metabolism research and as an applied practitioner in professional cycling, soccer, Ironman triathlon, marathon, and ultra-running at the highest level. Much of the research underpinning current fuelling guidelines has come directly from his lab and his collaborators. The underlying physiology, however, is not elite-specific. The same evidence base informs fuelling decisions for trained age-group athletes, team-sport players, and recreational endurance athletes. Targets scale with workload and tolerance; the principles do not change.

Asker spent most of his career as a professor at the University of Birmingham (UK) as Head of The Human Performance Laboratory. Currently he is a (visiting) professor at Loughborough University. He has authored 9 books and over 250 research papers and book chapters. During his career Asker has worked at the forefront of research as well as directly with athletes, including Olympic and World champions, Tour de France cyclists and Champions league football teams.
