Powering performance: New insights in protein science and applications in sports nutrition

Nutrition is an essential component of physical performance, and plays an important role accelerating post-workout recovery. Proteins are a key pillar in sports nutrition, supplying the body with the building blocks needed to support the maintenance and growth of muscle mass.

This symposium will draw on current research findings to highlight innovative strategies for protein in muscle recovery and enhancing performance. In this session our world-leading experts will also dive into the application/translation of the science into real life practice discussing the role of protein in team sports.
