BAesm Conference Spring 2018

BAesm Conference Spring 2018. Metabolic and Endocrine considerations for elite athletes. Attended this informative conference last week with amazing speakers in Doncaster. My 3 take home messages - 1. Sleep is the most important variable to ensure hormones to work, muscles to repair and bones to recover. Get your 7-8 hours in with naps if necessary. 2. Influence of Vitamin D is extremely underrated. Its bioactive and aids hormones, muscles and bones to repair and work. Supplements or Sun exposure is very helpful in maintaining healthy levels. 3. Beyond the obvious, men and women do have physiological differences. If you regularly miss your period as a woman, or get recurrent injuries as a guy alongside feeling fatigued - it could be hormonal.
