Filter by:The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of chronic 12-week high-dose Colostrum Bovinum (COL) and placebo (PLA) supplementation on immunological, hematological and biochemical markers, as well as physical capacity and discipline-specific exercise performance in endurance athletes, in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial.
Athlete nutrition is becoming an increasingly important factor on the path to achieving top results. Nutrients such as soluble fiber can alter the intestinal microbiota, resulting in metabolites with a positive effect on metabolism. Thus, the fibers become available, an additional source of energy to the host, have an anti-stress effect and delay the feeling of fatigue. The primary goal of the study is to determine the impact of soluble dietary fiber on increasing athletic efficiency, the secondary goal is to determine the impact of fiber on delaying fatigue. Subjects will be randomly divided into experimental and control group. The sample of variables will consist of genome microbiota genome sequencing data, measures to assess morphological characteristics, lower extremity explosive strength tests, and cardiovascular endurance. The statistical package SPSS will be used for data processing. The expected scientific contribution of this research is to expand the scientific knowledge about the importance of dietary fiber in the diet of athletes with the aim of improving sports performance.
The objective of this testing is to gain a better understanding of sports nutrition knowledge in high school athletes and their influencers (coaches, strength and conditioning coaches, athletic therapists, dieticians). Since the sports nutrition knowledge of the high school athletes will be limited, nutrition behaviors will be assessed to infer knowledge of sports nutrition. The secondary objective is to determine the primary sources of nutrition knowledge in these populations.
Introduction: The dehydration is a very common problem that is often not identified. The pediatric population is more susceptible to dehydration due to its physiological characteristics. Proper hydration is crucial for health since any degree of dehydration causes a reduction in physical and mental work capacity, hence the importance of preventing it by considering the type of drink. There are multiple beverage options, including industrial oral electrolytes (OE), on the other hand, coconut water (CW) has been studied as a natural alternative beverage with characteristics that can help maintain a state of euhydration. Objective: To determine if AC has a greater effect on hydration status than OE in adolescents who perform physical exercise. Material and methods: RCT, double blind. 34 subjects aged 13.02 ± 1.08 years were selected, assigned to treatment with either OE (Electrolit®) or CW. They received a weekly physical exercise session (4 weeks). Hydration was personalized (ml x kilograms of weight) and hydration was evaluated by Urine Specific Gravity (USG), Total Body Water (TBW) by bioimpedance and changes in body mass. Results: There were no significant differences in hydration in the first 3 exercise sessions (p>0.05), however, in the last session there was a significant difference between treatments (p=0.003). Conclusion: AC and OE have the same effect on hydration levels in adolescents who perform physical exercise.
The proteins of human breast milk are the most important endocrine signaling system that promotes neonatal growth by increasing the release of insulin, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and the leucine-mediated mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1- (mTORC1) signaling of pancreatic β-cells. Remarkably, the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine, and valine are involved in the growth-promoting effects of milk, protein biosynthesis, and metabolism because they physiologically stimulate insulin secretion The present study sought to investigate the effects of the combination of whey protein and casein in the ratio of 80:20 ("whey protein: casein" or "casein: whey protein") as breast milk proportion on the peak and the period of the permanence of branched-chain amino acids in the blood circulation, final metabolites of protein metabolism and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after a single bout of fasting or a resistance exercise session.
