In this episode, Andrew Mcvittie, a physiotherapist, climber, and climbing coach, joins me to discuss the journey he's going through to evaluate claims around collagen protein, specifically collagen supplements. We talk about whether collagen protein is a good option to maximize muscle protein synthesis, if digestion has any effects on collagen protein consumption, if collagen consumption or supplementation has any effects on rehabilitation or injury prevention, what types of collagen are best for specific outcomes, and whether the protocol to stimulate collagen synthesis is more important than ingesting collagen. We also go over other dietary modalities to focus on to prevent joint, tendon, and ligament injury, as well as modalities to help speed up recovery and repair if an injury occurs.
As a climber, climbing coach, and physiotherapist (who has also done a fair bit of running and cycling), Andy is ideally placed to provide clarity and direction to your return to climbing and outdoor sports. This background enables a unique, blended, treatment approach. Whilst his focus in coaching is technique based, his passion in physiotherapy is education, strengthening, and a detailed, fully supported, return to sport.
