A 7-day high protein hypocaloric diet promotes cellular metabolic adaptations and attenuates lean mass loss in healthy males
Furber, Matt; Anton-Solanas, Ana; Koppe, Emma; Ashby, Charlotte; Roberts, Michael; Roberts, Justin (2017-08-31)Mitochondrial quantity and density are associated with increased oxidative metabolism. It has been demonstrated that a hypocaloric high fat/low carbohydrate (HF/LC) diet can up-regulate transcriptional markers of mitochondrial ... -
Assessing a commercially available sports drink on exogenous carbohydrate oxidation, fluid delivery and sustained exercise performance.
Justin, Roberts,; Tarpey, Mike; Kass, Lindsy; Tarpey, Richard; Roberts, Michael (2014-03-04)Background: Whilst exogenous carbohydrate oxidation (CHOEXO) is influenced by mono- and disaccharide combinations, debate exists whether such beverages enhance fluid delivery and exercise performance. Therefore, this study ... -
A case study evaluation of competitors undertaking an Antarctic ultra-endurance event : nutrition, hydration and body composition variables
Paulin, Scott; Roberts, Justin; Roberts, Michael; Davis, Ian (2015-03-12)The nutritional demands of ultra-endurance racing are well documented. However, the relationship between nutritional consumption and performance measures are less obvious for athletes competing in Polar conditions. Therefore, ... -
Dissecting the molecular pathways underpinning lifespan extension following exposure to Montmorency Tart Cherries.
Vrinds, Inge; van den Elzen, Amber; Desai, Terun; Roberts, Michael; Lokman, Christien; Bottoms, Lindsay; Hughes, Samantha (2017-06) -
The effect of a decaffeinated green tea extract formula on fat oxidation, body composition and exercise performance
Roberts, Justin; Roberts, Michael; Thomas, Clare; Weeks, Jack; Tarpey, Michael (2015-01-21)The cardio-metabolic and antioxidant health benefits of caffeinated green tea (GT) relate to its catechin polyphenol content. Less is known about decaffeinated extracts, particularly in combination with exercise. The aim ... -
THE EFFECTS OF MONTMORENCY TART CHERRY JUICE SUPPLEMENTATION AND FATMAX EXERCISE ON CARDIO-METABOLIC MARKERS IN HEALTHY HUMANS
Desai, Terun; Bottoms, Lindsay; Roberts, Michael (2017-05-02) -
Electrocardiographic changes following six-months of long-distance triathlon training in previously recreationally active individuals
Dawkins, Tony G.; Shave, Rob; Baggish, Aaron; Drane, Aimee; Parisi, Erika; Roberts, Michael; Justin, Roberts, (2019-07-31)Background: Clinical electrocardiographic (ECG) guidelines for athlete’s heart are based upon cross-sectional data. We aimed to longitudinally evaluate the influence of endurance training on the ECG and compare the prevalence ... -
An exploratory investigation of endotoxin levels in novice long distance triathletes, and the effects of a multi-strain probioyic/prebiotic, antioxidant intervention
Roberts, Michael; Roberts, Justin; Suckling, Craig; Peedle, Georgia; Dawkins, Tony G. (2016-11-17)Gastrointestinal (GI) ischemia during exercise is associated with luminal permeability and increased systemic lipopolysaccharides (LPS). This study aimed to assess the impact of a multistrain pro/prebiotic/antioxidant ... -
The ingestion of protein with a maltodextrin and fructose beverage on substrate utilisation and exercise performance
Tarpey, Michael; Roberts, Justin; Kass, Lindsy; Tarpey, Richard; Roberts, Michael (2013-12)The study investigated the ingestion of maltodextrin, fructose and protein on exogenous carbohydrate oxidation (CHOEXO) and exercise performance. Seven trained cyclists/triathletes (VO2max: 59.20 ± 9.00 ml •kg-1•min-1) ... -
An investigative study into the influence of a commercially available carbohydrate-protein-electrolyte beverage on short term repeated exercise performance
Roberts, Justin; Tarpey, Michael D.; Kass, Lindsy; Roberts, Michael G. (2012)Background: The purpose of this study was to undertake an independent investigation into the effects of ingesting a carbohydrate-protein-electrolyte (CPE) beverage on repeated submaximal and time-trial cycling performance. ... -
Montmorency tart cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) acts as a calorie restriction mimetic that increases intestinal fat and lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans
van de Klashorst, David; van den Elzen, Amber; Weeteling, Jasper; Roberts, Michael; Desai, Terun; Bottoms, Lindsay; Hughes, Samantha (2020-03-10)Montmorency Tart Cherries, MTC, (Prunus cerasus L.) possess a high anthocyanin content as well as one of the highest oxygen radical absorbance capacities of fruits at common habitual portion sizes. MTC have been shown to ... -
A valid and reliable nutrition knowledge questionnaire for track and field athletes
Furber, Matt; Roberts, Justin; Roberts, Michael (2017-04-12)Background Establishing an understanding of an athlete’s nutrition knowledge can inform the coach/practitioner and support the development of the athlete. Thus the purpose of the study was to develop a psychometrically ...
