Timeline: 3:18 Women oxidize fat better than men. This purportedly “should” provide a performance advantage to women in ultra-endurance events. Yet men still win these events and hold the records (in the aggregate). What does Dr. Smith-Ryan say about this? 7:48 Are there sex differences vis a vis skeletal muscle fiber type? Are women more fatigue-resistant 10:17 Birth control – effects on performance and/or substrate utilization 14:07 The only sample that matters is you! 15:00 The menstrual cycle – the effects on various indices of female physiology; TDEE goes up by 300-400 kcals! 21:00 High end female athletes often want to be amenorrheic – Dr. Smith-Ryan opines. 24:46 What is muscle quality? Lift heavy shit. 27:07 Many reps with light weights or lift heavy weights with fewer reps? Why Abbie finds this comparison annoying. 30:30 HIIT vs steady-state aerobic training – the value of each. NOBODY does hit every day. Because if you say that, you are lying to yourself. 35:04 Sex differences in the adaptive response to HIIT? 38:22 Sex differences in pain perception? Is it real? Do women perceive less pain post-DOMS protocol? 41:40 Protein needs in athletic women vs men? Abbie consumes enough protein😊 46:38 Intermittent fasting vs chronic caloric restriction. 48:53 Creatine – its effects on women? Supplementation over the menstrual cycle. Women gain maybe ½ a pound of fluid. 54:10 Supplement recommendations from the good doctor Abbie E.

Timeline 00:20 -Who is Dr. Aaron Wellman? 3:30 - What exactly is the Muscle-to-Bone ratio (MBR)? Dr. Wellman edifies us 4:00 – How big can this athlete get? How much muscle mass can a skeleton hold? 5:50 – Dr. Wellman even looked at the cattle industry – how much meat can you put on an animal 7:30 – Muscle to Bone ratio defined; so if you have 25 lb. of skeleton, and 100 lb. of skeletal muscle mass, then you have a 5.0 ratio 10:38 – There are 2 main factors that affect MBR: weight of skeleton and the ethnicity of the individual; there are racial differences. 12:05 - Is there an “optimal” MBR? Because maximal may not translate into optimal. 14:30 - PhD #2 – Wellman is doing a second doctorate looking at the anthropometric characteristics of college football athletes 15:52 – Which athletes have the highest amount of skeletal muscle mass? Is there a limit to how much muscle mass you can carry? 17:08 – Dr. Wellman speculates that sumo wrestlers probably have the most skeletal muscle mass 17:50 – Pro Bodybuilders (are they athletes?) – some have a 7.5 muscle-to-bone ratio. Why? PEDs move the biological ceiling 19:30 – Dr. Wellman’s partnership with EXOS – Do players with higher MBR have perhaps lose some elasticity? 21:40 – In the NFL, is there a relationship between high MBR and history of injury? 22:22 – Is it sometimes better to lose some skeletal muscle mass to lessen the risk of injury? 24:02 - The rate of increasing MBR – is it affected by whether they gained muscle over a long period of time? 26:10 – Will the 5.3 (MBR) skill player have a history of injuries? 26:55 – Predicting performance in a “simple” sport (i.e., 100 m dash) – Does MBR help predict performance or injuries? 28:56 - Top 100-meter sprinters – average MBR is about 4.6 to 4.7 – that is similar to NFL receivers (who may be a little larger). 30:00 – S & C – maybe getting more skeletal muscle mass and strength is not needed? 31:30 - As long as you put on muscle mass, you won’t get slower – Or maybe we need to rethink this paradigm. 36:10 - The average person may not hit MBR until the late 20s, early 30s – and that is with perfect training and diet. But the elites are just different. 38:05 – Wellman – may program certain athletes to avoid training that increases skeletal muscle mass. 39:30 - Using ice baths to avert gains in skeletal muscle mass. 40:45 – Why are there differences in MBR between players that are Polynesian? White and Black players? 41:40 – Bone breadths in Polynesians are enormous. They tend to play O-line, D-line, and Linebackers due to such large skeletal frames. 45:00 – Data on the MBR will be published (hopefully soon) in JSCR. 51:20 – MBR data on NFL Quarterbacks (avg is about 4.7) – Dr. Wellman expounds on why Eli Manning was an elite; his daily routine was dialed in! Running QBs tend to have higher MBR. About Dr. Aaron Wellman Aaron Wellman enters his fourth season as Indiana’s senior assistant athletic director for football performance in 2023. • Earned his degree in exercise science in 1996.

Humans need the EAAs to live and survive; what’s the best way to get those amino acids? Fruit and broccoli are great for apes; doesn’t work for humans. Quality of protein (i.e., the most EAAs) is paramount; need to promote that peak in plasma amino acids I’m too damn lazy to be a vegetarian and besides steak is delish What are the best sources of protein? Depends. Are they trained or untrained. Learn more about why the EAAs are amazing.

Timeline 3:35 – The attack on chocolate milk from the Feds? Please 5:50 - National security issue because we have so many men and women that are out of shape (i.e., overweight and/or obese). They just can’t be recruited into the armed forces. 8:48 – Testosterone – the hormone we all love 10:22 – Dr. Ferrando edifies us on his investigations using testosterone 11:12 – A clinician will not run blood work on you unless you are complaining about symptoms; if you do not present with symptoms, you are not “hypogonadal” in the mind of a clinician 11:50 – Everyone defines hypogonadal differently 13:13 - Take a 65-year-old man and make him 30 years old with T 14:10 - Does it matter if you use Test Cyp, Test Enanthate, Straight T etc. 17:50 - Test undecanoate – just one shot will avert the loss of FFM in soldiers over a period of 21 days 20:10 - Safety issues with testosterone – are there any real adverse effects? 24:19 – First nutrition class I took – the professor said that eating a lot of protein was bad for my kidneys 24:53 – Thoughts on why there is an anti-protein bias that exists even today 26:17 – The politics of food is annoying as heck. 27:24 - Humans need the EAAs to live and survive; what’s the best way to get those amino acids? Fruit and broccoli are great for apes; doesn’t work for humans. 28:51 - Quality of protein (i.e., the most EAAs) is paramount; need to promote that peak in plasma amino acids 30:05 – I’m too damn lazy to be a vegetarian (Ferrando). 30:27 – What are the best sources of protein? Depends. Are they trained or untrained. Learn more about why the EAAs are amazing. 39:45 – Age and Sex differences vis a vis the processing of amino acids (i.e., is there anabolic ‘resistance?’) 47:23 – Consuming up to 70 g of protein at a meal; synthesis vs degradation. It isn’t an on-off switch, it’s a rheostat. The role of insulin. 50:44 – You can only afford to be myocentric if the whole body is happy and the importance of lean body mass with regards to mortality About our guest: Arny Ferrando PhD FISSN Dr. Ferrando’s work has focused on the preservation of skeletal muscle, and includes investigations utilizing exercise, pharmacological and nutritional interventions to ameliorate muscle loss.

Timeline 4:30 – How the sports supplements/nutrition category has evolved in academia and industry – Stout and Ziegenfuss. The scientific community wasn’t supportive. Industry leaders? EAS? Gatorade technically is a supplement but the powers that be didn’t classify it as such. 9:25 – Once you work in the industry, you’ll never get back into academia – one of the big LIES pure academicians will tell you. 14:07 – Tony Ricci’s experience with Pfizer; a funny story. Total cholesterol as a sole marker for CVD is total bullshit. 20:27 – Collagen protein – good for what exactly? If it helps or has a neutral effect, try it! 23:23 – Beta-alanine – why not just take carnosine? And how to avoid the pins and needles effect? 27:38 – Dr. Z has an answer for eliminating or attenuating the paresthesia! 28:42 – Dr. Z says that Roger Harris PhD says the carnosine is good for helping your hangover from excess drinking. 29:27 – Anserine, Balenine – cousins to carnosine – (not beta-alanine as Dr. A said). 31:51 – Beta-alanine and Creatine – thoughts on using it for weight class athletes (i.e., fighters). 37:35 – Thoughts on HMB – why is there such an odd emotional response to HMB? It does have an application particularly if you are old, underfed, or training like a maniac. It ain’t like DECA! 46:31 – Why not leucine rather than HMB? 48:46 – There is a utility to BCAAs vis a vis attenuating DOMS 51:00 – Cold water immersion – does it help? Does it help reduce fat mass? 56:05 – Supplement recommendations from Drs. Z and Stout About our guests: Jeffrey R.

Timeline - The Sports Science Dudes is on YouTube, Rumble, and Spotify. 3:30 Wendi, what piqued your interest in working with young athletes? And how you deal with parents regarding young athletes? 6:27 Mike, his work with kids was an accidental career. Started as a gym teacher. A four decade’s worth of experience! 12:31 Wendi’s love of physical education; a true tomboy. 14:36 Wendi, how do you deal with the crackpot ideas on sports nutrition and supplements from “experts” on social media. Some professionals are just not open to new ideas. 16:04 Wendi’s view on the proper and safe use of creatine for youth. 19:58 ACSM – in the 1980s – viewed aerobic exercise as the end all and be all. The NSCA are just meatheads that lift weights 21:10 – Mike describes the “evolution” of resistance training. 21:45 – Mike describes the Universal “weight training” machine. Holy shit! We’re dinosaurs. 27:00 – Kenneth Cooper’s “Aerobics” was revolutionary at the time. 27:47 – People don’t like the “basics.” Wendi’s view of teaching the basics! 30:40 – You can’t eat like a bird, and train like a beast. 30:59 – Women and young girls worry about “getting big” or gaining weight from protein or from lifting. 32:40 – Mike dealt with high school kids that basically didn’t eat enough. 35:36 – Food service dietitians hate being called “lunch ladies.” 40:05 – Wendi, how do you educate young kids (and their parents) about the importance of body composition versus just weight. The content of the calories you consume affect body composition! Eat more protein for better body composition. 43:48 – When can kids start lifting weights? And is it safe? Mike opines. 45:35 – Youth weightlifting – great for your health, Wendi opines. 49:22 - Wendi was the black sheep of her dietetics program at UW-Stout. But she’s great at translating sports science in a palatable way to parents and kids. 50:38 - We have a profession (educators) and we have an industry (sellers). 51:35 – Wendi’s top supplements (in general) for active individuals. 54:49 – Squats are the king of all resistance exercises – Mike opines Our Special Guests Wendi Irlbeck, MS, RDN, LD, CISSN is a Registered Dietitian, certified sports nutritionist, lifestyle coach with an M.S. in Nutrition.
