Podcast Episode #59: Dr. Chad Kerksick & Timing Ergogenic Aids and Micronutrients for Performance

In this episode, Dr. Chad Kerksick joins me to discuss how the timing of ingestion of specific ergogenic aids and micronutrients can impact muscle performance, and the effects and benefits for athletes. We make it through half of the ergogenic aids and micronutrients from the study "Timing of Ergogenic Aids and Micronutrients on Muscle and Exercise Performance," which he co-authored. We will cover the other ergogenic aids and micronutrients in the near future!

Dr. Kerksick is an associate professor of exercise science in the Exercise Science Department in the School of Health Sciences at Lindenwood University. He currently serves as the director of the Exercise and Performance Nutrition Laboratory and the Master of Science in Health Sciences program at Lindenwood University. His primary research interests include sport nutrition as well as the biochemical, cellular, and molecular adaptations relative to various forms of exercise and nutrition interventions, primarily those that promote muscle hypertrophy, prevent muscle atrophy, and promote health and recovery in healthy as well as clinical populations.
