Strength athletes in the immediate Bathurst area needed for sports nutrition research at Charles Sturt University (CSU) can find out more at an information session at the University at 6pm on Wednesday 12 May. Chief investigator Dr Stephen Bird and co-investigator Dr Jack Cannon, both from the CSU School of Human Movement Studies in Bathurst, say, “Our previous research has shown that repeated bouts of resistance exercise accompanied by nutritional supplementation can promote increased muscle growth and strength. We need participants for our current research into Nutrient timing strategies and the strength athlete: mechanisms and adaptations, which will examine the science behind ‘nutrient timing’. The research volunteers will receive 10 weeks of supervised strength training, with nutritional supplements, so we can assess changes in hormone response, muscle growth, and strength and body composition, as well as indicators of muscle damage and recovery.”
