This week I am joined by Dr Matthew Barnes, an expert on the impacts of alcohol on recovery and performance, to discuss exactly that! We've spoken to Matt back in Episode 39, and learned a bit about his story. So if you haven't already listened to that, feel free to jump back there and check it out. In this episode, we talk through Matt's studies related to how alcohol impacts recovery from exercise. This was the topic he completed his PhD in and something he has also written more about since (review article linked below). We had hoped to chat about recovery modalities in general, but we will get to that next time. You can find his mentioned review article here - Alcohol: Impact on Sports Performance and Recovery in Male Athletes It was great to catch up with Matt again, apologies if the audio is a little lower quality at times! You're welcome to donate to the podcast if you want to ensure better-quality audio... haha.
