In this episode we dive into the world of sports nutrition. We speak with Helena Engel, a researcher from TUM’s Professorship for Exercise, Nutrition and Health and an active sports nutritionist working within the German Ski Association.


Helena tells us about her research in the area of “energy balance” and the importance of ensuring athletes get the right food to meet the high energy demands of Alpine skiing. Listen in to find out more about the importance of nutrition to athletes and the science behind calorie consumption during a grueling season in the mountains.
