I’m back with another installment of The Research Report, where the focus is looking deeply into a research study or paper relevant to the themes of In The Flow. Analyze the methods, results, and conclusions and how it fits into the bigger picture of lifestyle, nutrition, and athletics.
This time I look at a new study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition titled Is a vegan diet detrimental to endurance and muscle strength? looking at differences in exercise outcomes in young female vegan and omnivorous athletes. In the episode, I go through the study design and results, and then wax philosophical about the bigger picture and how this fits into the current landscape of sports nutrition and exercise science.
