Presented By: Human Performance & Sport Science Center
Fueling for endurance – from keto to carbs!
Dr. Louise Burke, Burke OAM, PhD, APD - leading expert in sports nutrition and nutrition strategy
Day: Tuesday, May 5, 2026
Time: 7 pm to 8 pm
Location: U-M Chemistry Bldg., Room 1400
Dr. Burke is a sports dietitian with 45 years of experience in the education and counselling of elite athletes. She worked at the Australian Institute of Sport for thirty years, first as Head of Sports Nutrition and then as Chief of Nutrition Strategy and now serves as Chair in Sports Nutrition in the Mary MacKillop Institute of Health Research at Australian Catholic University in Melbourne.
Talk Summary: Carbohydrates have powered endurance performance for a century—from early race-day sugar use to modern glycogen-loading and sports nutrition products. Yet the rise of ketogenic/LCHF approaches has sparked debate and confusion for athletes and coaches. This session cuts through the hype to explore what the evidence says, why context matters, and how to build a more nuanced, “unifying” approach to fueling endurance performance.
