A few of our Quorn sponsored researchers presented at the Annual Congress of the European College of Sport and Exercise Science (ECSS) in Seville in September.
Dr Alistair Monteyne, a Quorn sponsored post-doctoral fellow, presented the following work (which is currently under peer review for scientific publication):
Vegan and omnivorous high protein diets support equivalent daily myofibrillar protein synthesis rates and skeletal muscle adaptive responses to high volume resistance exercise training in young adults: a randomised controlled trial.
Sam West presented his abstract at ECSS entitled:
'Mycoprotein ingestion within or without its whole food matrix results in equivalent stimulation of myofibrillar protein synthesis rates in resting and exercised muscle of young men’.
Sam has now published his research as a full paper!
The award goes to.....
Ino van der Heijden won a Gatorade Sports Science Institute (GSSI) sponsored Young Investigator award for the following abstract and presentation:
A high-protein vegan diet improves blood-borne indices of cardiometabolic health but does not alter micronutrient status compared with an isonitrogenous omnivorous diet during resistance training.
Congratulations Ino!
