Lauren Colenso-Semple
Lauren Colenso-Semple, PhD, is a researcher in exercise physiology, nutrition, and strength training. Her published research examines resistance training prescription, dietary protein intake, and the molecular mechanisms of skeletal muscle remodeling. She also investigates the physiological effects of menstrual cycle phases and oral contraceptives on muscle protein synthesis, strength performance, and adaptations to exercise.
