    Understanding body composition - with Dr James Fleming

    Following the recent episode about body weight, Dan & Owain interview Dr James Fleming about body composition and the work of an applied practitioner in the nutrition space. James is a lecturer at St Mary's University, with experience in nutrition and body composition. He's also hosting an Adolescent Athlete Conference in June 2027.

    A deep dive into New Zealand blackcurrants & the heat

    Dan & Owain take a deep dive into New Zealand blackcurrants and anthocyanins, specifically looking at their possible benefit in the heat. They also critically discuss applying research in the supplement space, and the evidence that exists for blackcurrants and other supplements on the market.

    Your guide to getting lab testing

    In the last few years, lab testing has exploded as an industry - expanding beyond a few universities offering tests in their laboratory. Unfortunately not all tests are equal, and having seen more bad tests, Dan & Owain talk through what you should be looking for from a lab test. Send us in your tests and we might do an episode talking through some of the bad ones soon!

    The future of sport science?

    Dan & Owain get their prediction hats on, and discuss where they think the future of sport science is heading. Along with some fun suggestions, they discuss training, nutrition & technology, and what they think might be different (or stay the same) in 5 years time. What do you think we might be doing in 2031?

    Weight & Performance: Finding the Balance

    Dan & Owain dive into a taboo area of endurance sports, one that has returned as a discussion point following Josh Kerr's mile world record - weight. Tackling the subject through the lens of a fantastic case study by Trent Stellingwerff, they discuss the importance of weight and body composition, and share some thoughts about when you might want to think about this yourself.
