Sport nutrition research oversight

Sport Nutrition Research Oversight

Edited by the PINES education officers
Floris Wardenaar, PhD and Enette Larson-Meyer, PhD, RD, FACSM

The purpose of creating a biannual Sport Nutrition Student Research Proceedings publication is to increase the dissemination of undergraduate and graduate-level research with a wider audience. Not all members of PINES have equal access to peer-reviewed publications through journals that are not open-access. In order to help bridge this gap between research and application, announcements will be sent through PINES communication channels to submit abstracts written by PhD, MS, BS or honors students within universities with which PINES members are affiliated. These abstracts will be shared with members as a PDF file. Simultaneously, the officers would like to evaluate how members rate this initiative that intends to close the gap between the time of completing the research and the results becoming available through publication. The officers believe that this is a relatively easy way to facilitate members informing each other about their work, thereby making research results available early to the sports nutrition community worldwide.

Alice Sharples

Sydney


Alice is a performance nutritionist working in Australia. Originally from New Zealand, she developed an interest in sports nutrition through her own involvement in athletics and field hockey. This led her to complete a Bachelor of Applied Science in Sports Nutrition at the University of Otago, followed by the International Olympic Committee Diploma in Sports Nutrition and a Master of Science with Distinction in Sport Nutrition from the University of Stirling.

Alice began her career working across women’s and men’s high-performance sport in New Zealand, supporting athletes in rugby, football and basketball. These roles gave her valuable experience translating sports nutrition science into practical strategies and working collaboratively within multidisciplinary performance teams.

Alice transitioned to Australia, where she has continued her career working with rugby league athletes and swimmers. Alongside her applied work she undertook a PhD through the University of Technology Sydney, investigating the factors associated with nutrition and sleep in rugby league athletes.

Alice is passionate about strengthening the sports nutrition profession through collaboration, connection and the exchange of knowledge. She values the opportunity to learn from practitioners with diverse experiences and perspectives and feels privileged to contribute to PINES and its global professional community.
