Women's Health & Fitness Initiative
Researchers in the ESNL began research investigating the safety and efficacy of the Curves fitness and weight loss program in the spring of 2003 which continued until 2015. ESNL researchers have published numerous studies and are still working on publishing work from this data base. This research has literally strengthene millions of women at over 10,000 sites in 78 countries worldwide.
Research Program
The ESNL had an unrestricted grant with Nutrabolt from 2012 - 2017 to study the safety and efficacy of existing supplements and novel nutrients. This work resulted in a number of publications and presentations on nutritional supplements and finished products. The focus was on exercise performance, training adaptations, weight loss, and performance, including the role of pre-workout supplements on performance.
Exercise and Sport Nutrition
The ESNL has been on the forefront of translating the latest science into lay articles, position stands, and books that practitioners can used to improve performance. This includes the new Essentials of Exercise & Sport Nutrition: Science to Practice (now available in English, Spanish, and Italian).
International Society of Sports Nutrition
Dr. Kreider is a proud co-founder of the International Society of Sports Nutrition and founding Editor and current Co-Editor-In-Chief of the BioMed Central - Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (Impact factor 5.068). The ESNL has played a critical role in contributing original research, development of the Exercise & Sport Nutrition Reviews, and leading efforts in development of ISSN position stands.
