How can we help?

We are very proud on our carbohydrate periodisation model we have been working on for years and it has already helped numerous athletes. It is well documented that a high carbohydrate availability before and during competitions is a key to success. However, there is an emerging evidence showing that performing certain training sessions with reduced carbohydrate availability could potentiate training adaptations. However, because of fluctuations of the hormones throughout the menstrual cycle, carbohydrate periodisation has to be adapted. For example, it is well known that in the luteal phase it is crucial to ingest carbohydrates before high intensity exercise sessions.

Fuel for the work required

This is an approach commonly used by professional athletes and used by our team. We strive to make sure that athletes have enough energy to fulfil training requirements set by the endurance coach, but at the same time prevent overloading with carbohydrates not only to prevent weight gain but also to enhance long term adaptations.

Female Athlete Triad and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport

Unfortunately, a prevalence of problems arising from poor planning of nutrition and training is very high. Although some coaches and athletes do not bother if a women athlete does not have regular periods, this could be a very serious problem for long term health. Not only is there a risk for stress fractures but also for other problems such as infertility. This has to be prevented and IT CAN BE PREVENTED.

Science based

Our team of experts consists of both scientists and practicioners so we know what is supported by science and what is not.
