Then this eBook is for you! We can proudly say we wrote the most comprehensive summary on evidence-based protein intake for athletes so far. In it, the two researchers behind “WOD Science” made sure that you have access to every relevant information on subjects like: Protein timing Daily intake Protein distribution Protein and weight loss Protein and endurance sports Protein with ageing Plant-based protein: friend or foe and many more! Current recommendations are conveniently explained by going over the studies that led to them. The book is written in an easily digestible manner that aims to make high profile research accessible to everyone. But even professionals from the field will find some gems in there that will satisfy the nerd within ourselves.

Yours truly, Gommaar & Henning -About the authors- Gommaar D'Hulst, PhD Gommaar studied Sport Sciences and Exercise Physiology at the University of Leuven in Belgium where he also obtained his PhD. During his PhD he studied the molecular biology of the working skeletal muscle. Currently he is working at the state-of-the-art Laboratory of Exercise and Health at the ETH Zurich where his research focuses on topics like muscle health and muscle memory. Gommaar has always been very passionate about communicating evidence-based information to the public. In his spare time you can find him playing with his 2-year-old son or at CrossFit Kreis9 for his workout of the day. Henning Langer, PhD (c) Henning is a Postdoctoral Researcher in muscle physiology at the University of California, Davis. His work investigates skeletal muscle health and how it can be modulated through exercise and nutrition. He did his PhD at the Charité -Universitätsmedizin Berlin, focusing on changes of muscle metabolism in neuromuscular disorders. Previously, he obtained his MSc from Maastricht University for work on skeletal muscle protein turnover in response to protein ingestion and resistance exercise. Henning is a certified strength and conditioning and CrossFit Level-1 coach. He has competed as an individual and as part of a team in CrossFit European Throwdowns and Sanctionals, including the German- and the French Throwdown.
