Researchers in the ESNL began research investigating the safety and efficacy of the Curves fitness and weight loss program in the spring of 2003 which continued until 2015. ESNL researchers have published numerous studies and are still working on publishing work from this data base. This research has literally strengthene millions of women at over 10,000 sites in 78 countries worldwide.

The ESNL had an unrestricted grant with Nutrabolt from 2012 - 2017 to study the safety and efficacy of existing supplements and novel nutrients. This work resulted in a number of publications and presentations on nutritional supplements and finished products. The focus was on exercise performance, training adaptations, weight loss, and performance, including the role of pre-workout supplements on performance.

The ESNL has been on the forefront of translating the latest science into lay articles, position stands, and books that practitioners can used to improve performance. This includes the new Essentials of Exercise & Sport Nutrition: Science to Practice (now available in English, Spanish, and Italian).

The key to conducting health-related research that makes an impact is translating research findings from the lab to the general public.

The ESNL is a leader in presenting research at scientific meetings, publishing results in peer-reviewed journals, and translating research

The Exercise and Sport Nutrition Laboratory is located in Building Two of Research Park at Texas A&M University.
