While commonly viewed as beneficial for weight loss and managing cardiometabolic conditions in the current obesity epidemic, chronic energy deficiency in the context of modern sports and exercise nutrition is linked to adverse health outcomes and diminished athletic performance. Nevertheless, the evidence regarding the negative impact of energy deficit on physical capacity and sports performance is not entirely clear. Although severe energy deficiency can impair physical capacity, it's noteworthy that humans can enhance aerobic fitness and strength even in the presence of significant energy deficits. Strikingly, many elite athletes compete at the highest levels despite displaying evident signs of energy deficiency. This raises intriguing questions about how the human body adapts to energy deficits, challenging conventional views on the relationship between energy availability and athletic prowess. To discuss some potential reasons for this ability to maintain peak physical performance while suppressing energetically demanding physiological traits, researcher Dr. Jose Areta of LJMU is on the podcast to discuss his work in this area. About The Guest: Dr. José Areta currently works as a lecturer in Sports Nutrition and Metabolism at the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at LJMU. José's primary interest is in the area of training-nutrient interactions in humans. In other words, he investigates how to manipulate ingestion of carbohydrates, fat and protein around training to optimise physical performance and health. The outputs of his research have not only expanded the knowledge of the field but had significant impact and influence on determining current dietary recommendations and practices world-wide. His work has provided novel insights in relation to the amount, timing, quantity and distribution of carbohydrates, fat and protein and dietary supplements around training. Over the last few years José has been developing his research in the area of the endocrinological, metabolic and physiological effects of energy restriction, in which he is currently growing his research team and capability.

The final Roscoe Lecture of LJMU's Bicentenary year was met with a rousing standing ovation at St George's Hall. Author, poet and academic Malik Al Nasir delivered his lecture The Truth That Lies Behind Roscoe to a packed audience in November. He shared his research into Liverpool's history in the slave trade and links to the MP, writer and scholar William Roscoe, after whom these lectures are named.   Roscoe was an abolitionist committed to ending slavery but Malik explored how financiers behind his institutions were themselves slave traders.

As part of Black History Month, this episode looks at Liverpool's untold history.  Brought together by LJMU's Diversity and Inclusion team, our guests have a fascinating and challenging conversation about the untold history of the city, our university and wider society.

The episode is hosted by Professor Joe Yates, LJMU's Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Place and Partnerships, and he is joined by: Laurence Westgaph, Liverpool Black History Research Group Lead Facilitator and Historian in Residence at National Museums Liverpool Dr Amina Elmi, Granby Somali Women's Group Dr Scott Foster, PhD Programme Leader at Liverpool John Moores University

This Full Moon we dive straight into our conversation with Dr Sara Baumann, who I have been working alongside in different capacities since 2020 - we talk about more in the conversation.This is the bio that I refer to at the beginning of the episode that had me like YES, this is why we are so aligned with our work, even though we come at it from different angles…“Sara Baumann is a global health, mixed methods researcher with primary research interests in 1) participatory, arts-based, and visual research methods, 2) women's and adolescent reproductive health, and 3) mental health. She has over 13 years of experience conducting research and programming in health and development in South Asia, with a current focus on Nepal. Her research agenda embraces community-engaged methods and developing evidence-based approaches for improving social determinants of health.”Join us as we discuss Sara's journey from film-maker to health researcher and back again, and how she's created a wonderful purpose-driven happy medium with research projects that use the Collaborative Filmmaking method that she has developed to explore our relationships with health and emotions.We share how that actually translates in the world, particularly within the examples of work that we have done and are doing together. This is not just a theory!We celebrate the power of consistently giving the power back, of reflecting the value of those that we are working with, and hearing the voices of marginalised and socially shunted groups over prolonged periods of time… another key to sustainability and constant reassurance for the participant of their expertise. It really is an undoing of the old hierarchical ways!Find out more and download the handbook at http://www.collaborativefilmmaking.comFollow:https://www.instagram.com/collaborativefilmmaking/https://www.instagram.com/glowherpitt/We have both worked together on Dignity without Danger with Dr Sara Parker of LJMU, who we reference:https://www.instagram.com/dignitywithoutdanger/To see the Visualising Loss logo that we created last year for a current research project: https://www.instagram.com/p/CwfJvhysBIw/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==More of the graphics and illustrations will be revealed for this project by Christmas!Do get in touch with either of us to continue this conversation or to discuss the potential of appearing in Sara's Can Art Heal Module if that feels like you!Happy Full Moon everyone!

In this episode, Professor Andy Newsam and Professor Matt Darnley from LJMU's Astrophysics Research Institute discuss the success of the mission, what it means for the future of space exploration and whether they'd ever fancy being on board a future mission.

Welcome to the jmsYOU mini-series of LJMU's 1823 podcast. We aim to focus on YOU as students and we want this to be a space where you can share your personal stories and experiences. Meet Lois, your student host for jmsYOU. She will be uncovering the stories and experiences of other students to discuss wider topics of conversation that may encourage, help and inspire listeners who may be going through similar journeys. To kickstart our mini-series, we talk about the impact of the cost of living crisis on students, as a result of funding and money struggles which quite often lead to mental health problems. For students, this is becoming not just a cost of living crisis, but a cost of learning crisis, where students are having to make a choice between studying and eating. Only last month it was reported that 11% of UK students are turning to food banks, which is a huge increase from the 5% in January 2022. You will hear the story of our guest speaker, Amber, as she explains how she struggled with her finances during her first year at university. She shares her experience and advice after getting herself out of her financial situation with the help of LJMU's Student Support Fund. You will also hear from James, a member of LJMU's Student Advice and Wellbeing services, as he sheds light on the support on offer to students today. To find help, support or advice you can contact our advice team at jmsuadvice@ljmu.ac.uk or book an appointment online via the JMSU website.

You can read the Climate Action Plan in full and watch some short films about LJMU's commitment to sustainability by visiting our website.

I have two guests for you this week, Jenny Coe and Dr Amy Whitehead Jenny Coe is former international basketball player for Ireland and has spent her working career developing coaches and players, first at UK coaching and now working as a Head of Performance and Wellbeing with West Ham Women's Football Team. Jenny also runs her own company Impact the Game a company that supports coaches and athletes in the area of sports psychology. Amy is a Reader in Sport Psychology and Coaching at Liverpool John Moores University, where she leads the Coaching and Pedagogy Research Group at LJMU and specialises in research in stressors and coping during competition. But the main reason that Jenny and Amy are on today is that they have co-edited a super interesting book called Myths of Sports Coaching, collating a range of common misconceptions and tackling them head on, giving sense over superstition, but also a clear understanding as to why myths have originated which I think really helps people see where some ideas such as Learning styles 10,000 hours Deliberate practice Do you have to walk it to talk it and do coaches need to be cruel to be kind As I stated in my testimonial on the back of the book, The work, illuminated by leading authors, scholars and practitioners, is indispensable for anyone supporting and championing others through coaching. I hope you enjoy this wide ranging conversation as we get into several of the concepts that the book addresses.   Links for guests https://twitter.com/jennycoady10 https://twitter.com/a_whitehead1 https://www.sequoia-books.com/catalog/whiteheadcoe/   Hi, I'm Steve Ingham Sports and Performance Scientist co-founder at Supporting Champions.

You are not alone when it comes to not always knowing how to approach 'networking'. Whatever stage you are at with developing your research, your start-up idea or applying for that next dream job - how and when to network is a question that we think needs to be broken down with some humanity and warmth brought into the mix. And who better to sit down and chat with than our very own Dominique Aspey, Ecosystems Manager @ LJMU Centre for Entrepreneurship. Her extensive experience of getting out there either face to face or more recently online will give you the low down on simple tips and tricks to put into practice when breaking down how you will and won't do networking. Her values-driven approach to showing up for others, offering help and guidance plus being willing to step out of her comfort zone will give you more confidence and motivation to try out networking now and in the future. Recorded in Aug 2020 during lockdown she talks through strategies to implement now whilst more networking, conferencing and fairs are online. She is clear though that whether online or face to face being authentic, seeking to build trust and being open to opportunities are something anyone can apply.

Professor Dave Richardson is the Director of the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at LJMU. He plays a key leadership role in the delivery of academic, financial and people management of the School. Dave started as a lecturer in the School in 1995 and his academic lens is coloured by an appreciation of the socio-cultural and psycho-social context of applied practice. Dave's primary research interest concerns the management, development and welfare of elite athletes. Specifically, this research incorporates aspects of athlete transitions, identity and critical moments within and out of sport. Typically, this research explores environmental, organisational, leadership and cultural themes that impact the strategic and operational aspects of an organisations approach to athlete development. Dave has developed a reputation as a leading authority in football health and, in particular, football in the community (FitC). This work utilises the power of football as a vehicle for positive behavioural change. Dave is in a uniquely privileged position of being able to publish and practice extensively in both of these domains. His publications and conference presentations reflect the strategic, operational, cultural, social and psychological development of practice within both the high performance environments and community health agencies. These publications reflect the humanistic understanding of the person (including the player, athlete, practitioner and other significant development stakeholders), their personal history and the context of the situation and environment within which they exist. More recently, Dave has been known for his contribution as an academic contributor to the Leaders in Performance professional journal. Dave is currently a grassroots coach in Liverpool and is completing his FA Level 2 coaching qualification.
