There is a lack of research documenting the weight-making practices mixed-martial-arts (MMA) competitors. The purpose investigation was to quantify magnitude and identify methods rapid weight loss (RWL) gain (RWG) in MMA athletes preparing for competition. Seven (mean ± SD , age 24.6 3.5 yrs, body mass 69.9 5.7 kg, competitive experience 3.1 2.2 yrs) participated repeated-measures design. Measures dietary intake, urinary hydration status, were recorded week preceding Body decreased...
Weight-category sports are defined by the requirement of a weigh-in before competition to provide performance equity and reduced injury risks eliminating size discrepancies. Athletes in these try gain theoretical advantage competing weight divisions that lower than their day-to-day body mass (BM), using combination chronic strategies (body-fat losses) acute manipulations over period hours days ("making weight"). Strategies support safer practices include minimal classification based on...
Abstract Objective Overweight and obesity are characterized by excess adiposity systemic, chronic, low‐grade inflammation, which is associated with several metabolic disorders. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility tolerability β‐alanine supplementation explore effects on cardiometabolic health cardiovascular, hepatic, renal function in adults overweight obesity. Methods A total 27 (44% female; mean [SD], age: 58 [10] years, BMI: 31.1 [2.9] kg/m 2 , hemoglobin A1c: 39.8 [4.3]...
Soy-based meat alternatives (SBMA) are becoming increasingly popular, but it is unclear if they have the same anabolic effect on skeletal muscle as animal meat.
Type-2 diabetes (T2D) is characterised by a dysregulation of metabolism, including skeletal muscle insulin resistance, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress. Reactive species, such as methylglyoxal (MGO) 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), positively associate with T2D disease severity can directly interfere signalling glucose uptake in modifying cellular proteins. The multifunctional dipeptide carnosine, its rate-limiting precursor β-alanine, have recently been shown to improve glycaemic...
Abstract Background Female athletes participating in sports emphasising aesthetics are potentially more prone to developing disordered eating (DE) and disorders (EDs) than non-athletes, males, those with less emphasis on leanness. Despite this, female bodybuilding have received little attention. Aim To investigate differences attitudes, behaviours beliefs a non-athlete group. Methods A cross-sectional study design was used the attitude test-26 (EAT-26) distributed 75 women (49.3% athletes;...
Sprint performance plays an important role in the success of many sports including track and field teambased sports.Resisted sprint equipment has shown to be effective method increase velocity acceleration.The aim study was determine intrasession intersession (7 days) reliability a commercially available resisted machine recreationally trained individuals for two resistance settings.Fourteen active participants partook (male = 10, female 4) over 7-day period.Three maximal 15m sprints, at...
Introduction: Mixed martial arts (MMA) athletes typically undergo energy restriction and severe dehydration to compete in a specific weight category: process known as making weight. This can pose health risk has led fatalities. Some risks be mitigated with structured sports nutrition. Methods: case study provides an overview of 10-week nutrition intervention devised support elite male MMA athlete for world lightweight title bout. Results: Over 9-week period, body mass was reduced from 81.6...
