The International Association of Athletics Federations recognizes the importance nutritional practices in optimizing an Athlete's well-being and performance. Although encompasses a diverse range track-and-field events with different performance determinants, there are common goals around support for adaptation to training, optimal key events, reducing risk injury illness. Periodized guidelines can be provided appropriate type, amount, timing intake food fluids promote health across scenarios...
This study explored the relationship between serum ferritin and hepcidin in athletes. Baseline levels of 54 athletes from control trial five investigations conducted our laboratory were considered; grouped according to values <30 μg/L (SF<30), 30-50 (SF30-50), 50-100 (SF50-100), or >100 (SF>100). Data pooling resulted each athlete completing one running sessions: (1) 8 × 3 min at 85% vVO2peak; (2) 5 4 90% (3) 90 continuous 75% (4) 40 (5) 65% vVO2peak. Athletes session represented amongst all...
Urinary hepcidin, inflammation, and iron metabolism were examined during the 24 hr after exercise. Eight moderately trained athletes (6 men, 2 women) completed a 60-min running trial (15-min warm-up at 75–80% HR peak + 45 min 85–90% ) of seated rest in randomized, crossover design. Venous blood urine samples collected pretrial, immediately posttrial, 3, 6, posttrial. Samples analyzed for interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), serum iron, ferritin, urinary hepcidin. The immediate...
With empirical research on team resilience the rise, there is a need for an integrative conceptual model that delineates essential elements of this concept and offers heuristic integration findings across studies. To address need, we propose multilevel originates in resources individual members emerges as team‐level construct through dynamic person–situation interactions are triggered by adverse events. In so doing, define emergent outcome characterized trajectory team's functioning,...
This investigation examined the effect of intramuscular iron injections on aerobic-exercise performance in iron-deficient women. Sixteen athletes performed a 10-min steady-state sub maximal economy test, VO 2max and timed test to exhaustion at workload. Subjects were randomly assigned an iron-supplemented group (IG) receiving or placebo (PG). Twenty days after first injection, exercise blood testing repeated. A final occurred Day 28. Post supplementation, no differences found between groups’...
Purpose: This investigation assessed the effects of training intensity and ground surface type on hemolysis, inflammation, hepcidin activity during running. Methods: Ten highly trained male endurance athletes completed a graded exercise test, two continuous 10-km runs grass (GRASS) bitumen road (ROAD) at 75%-80% peak V˙O2 running velocity, 10 × 1-km interval session (INT) 90%-95% velocity. Venous blood urine samples were collected before, immediately after, 3 24 h after exercise. Serum...
Purpose: The effect of crushed ice ingestion as a precooling method on 40-km cycling time trial (CTT) performance was investigated. Methods: Seven trained male subjects underwent familiarization and two experimental CTT which were preceded by 30 min either (ICE) or tap water (CON) consumption amounting to 6.8 g⋅kg -1 body mass. required athletes complete 1200 kJ work wind-braked cycle ergometer. During the CTT, gastrointestinal (T gi ) skin sk temperatures, time, power output, heart rate...
We assessed the ingestion of a beetroot juice supplement (BR) on 4-min laboratory-based kayak performance in national level male (n = 6) athletes (Study A), and 500 m on-water time-trial (TT) international female 5) B). In Study A, participants completed three sessions ergometer, including 7 × 4 min step test, two maximal effort trials. Two half hours before warm-up each trial, received either 70 ml BR shot containing ~4.8 mmol nitrate, or placebo equivalent (BRPLA). The distance covered...
To investigate the influence of daily oral iron supplementation on changes in hemoglobin mass (Hbmass) and parameters after 2-4 weeks moderate altitude exposure.Hematological data collected from 178 athletes (98 males, 80 females) exposed to (1,350-3,000 m) were analysed using linear regression determine how exposure combined with influenced Hbmass, total incorporation (TII) blood [ferritin transferrin saturation (TSAT)].Altitude (mean ± s: 21 3 days) increased Hbmass by 1.1% [-0.4, 2.6],...
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the impact of 3 heights simulated altitude exposure on repeat-sprint performance in teamsport athletes. Methods: Ten trained male team-sport athletes completed sets repeated sprints (9 × 4 s) a nonmotorized treadmill at sea level and altitudes 2000, 3000, 4000 m. Participants trials random order over wk, with mean power output (MPO), peak (PPO), blood lactate concentration (Bla), oxygen saturation (S O 2 ) recorded after each set. Results: Each increase...
Background Tart Montmorency cherries contain high concentrations of phytochemicals and anthocyanins, which have recently been linked to improved athletic recovery subsequent performance. To date however, previous work reporting promising results has focused on land-based endurance sports, with any potential benefits team sports remaining unknown. As such, this investigation set-out examine the effect supplemental tart cherry juice (CJ) next day performance in highly-trained water-based sport...
Abstract This study subjectively assessed sleep quality and quantity, state anxiety electronic device use during a 7‐day training week (TRAIN) competitive tournament (COMP). Eight state‐level netball players used wrist‐watch actigraphy to provide indirect measures of bedtime, wake time, duration, onset latency, efficiency, after fragmentation index. State was reported using the sub‐scale in Profile Mood States‐Adolescents. Before bed duration estimated time finishing also recorded....
