Is your Sports Nutritionist and Strength Coach Really Best Friends?

Fri, 26 Mar 2021 22:03:30 GMT

In our fourth podcast, the fallacies of hypertrophy for athletic performance are discussed. Four research publications and one book is reviewed and dissected. We specifically clear the air between "functional hypertrophy" and "non-functional hypertrophy) and how gaining weight may be a silent killer of many athletic careers. Is a long sustained "bulking phase" excuse of not adhering to a sound nutritional intervention or an excuse to over program powerlifting and bodybuilding routines? This comes down to "science" and a good relationship between nutrition and training for long term performance increase and performance sustainability. Sports nutritionist and Strength Coaches....can we all just get along! This podcast will answer: 1) The justifications of increasing bodyweight or LBM to improve athletic performance 2) Muscle hypertrophy & Muscle function 3) How much strength do team sport athletes "probably" need 4) The context of weight gain, do you or your athletes need it? 5) Diet & training synchronization long term.

We understand the implications this has for athletes but is the compliance office holding back strength coaches, sports nutritionists, and other support staff at the college level? This is what this podcast sought to answer!

In this podcast, I discuss a study conducted in 2011 and published in 2013 done with the Oklahoma State Football Program that showed over the course of four years football athletes did not increase power, agility, or sprinting speed that was statistically significant from freshman to senior years. Yet, the athletes improved in strength and body mass. Is this why strength coaches are marginalized?
