Hello and welcome to The Progress Theory where we discuss how to implement scientific principles to optimise human performance. In this episode, we have Dr Tyler Churchward-Venne, Assistant Professor in the Department of Kinesiology and physical education at McGill University
There is a lot of training involved in a hybrid programme, so in order to make sure we are recovering between sessions to reduce the negative effects of residual fatigue or reduced protein synthesis, we need to make sure our nutrition is optimised. In this episode, Dr Churchward-Venne and I discuss why protein is so important for a hybrid athlete, what the difference is between myofibrillar and mitochondrial protein synthesis, and what the best protein sources are for improving recovery and aiding athletic performance.
In this episode, we discuss:
1:02 - Introduction
2:00 - Insects as a protein source
4:38 - Insect protein in the market and in our culture
9:45 - An introduction to Dr Tyler Chruchward-Venne
12:21 - Going into the field of protein metabolism and hybrid training
16:33 - What are high-quality proteins?
21:10 - What is a low-quality course of protein?
24:26 - The importance of leucine
27:34 - Can more protein reduce the molecular interference effect?
32:09 - The differences between myofibrillar and mitochondrial protein synthesis?
34:35 - Carbohydrates for hybrid athletes
37:37 - Acute studies measuring protein synthesis
46:27 - Protein Recommendations for hybrid training
