E102 Energy expenditure and intake with Vera Weijer
Episode 102
Sunday, 9 February, 2025
Vera Weijer is a Dutch researcher who, together with Kristen Jonvik from Norway, undertook a research project regarding the energy expenditure and intake of Paralympic athletes. What is unique about this research is the number (70) and breadth of athletes studied (Norwegian and Dutch from a range of sports and impairment types), mostly at the elite level, and the range of techniques they've used in the study, including doubly labelled water. The details of their results can be found in these links: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38763462/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38694186/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38194704/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39587809/
