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...
BACKGROUND Malignant cells exhibit increased glycolytic metabolism, and in many cases glucose transporter gene expression. The authors hypothesized that GLUT1 expression is colorectal carcinoma, the degree of might have prognostic significance. METHODS immunostaining was studied normal colon benign adenomas 112 carcinomas from patients for whom long term clinical outcome known. RESULTS absent epithelium tubular adenomas, or only weakly apparent tubulovillous adenomas. majority (101 112; 90%)...
This study investigated whether hypoxic exposure increased muscle buffer capacity ( β m) and mechanical efficiency during exercise in male athletes. A control (CON, n =7) a live high:train low group (LHTL, =6) trained at near sea level (600 m), with the LHTL sleeping for 23 nights simulated moderate altitude (3000 m). Whole body oxygen consumption (V˙ O 2 ) was measured under normoxia before, after of hypoxia, cycle ergometry comprising 4×4‐min submaximal stages, 2‐min 5.6 ± 0.4 W kg –1 ,...
Strength and power athletes are primarily interested in enhancing relative to body weight thus almost all undertake some form of resistance training. While may periodically attempt promote skeletal muscle hypertrophy, key nutritional issues broader than those pertinent hypertrophy include an appreciation the sports supplement industry, strategic timing nutrient intake maximize fuelling recovery objectives, plus achievement pre-competition mass requirements. Total energy macronutrient intakes...
Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is becoming a popular tool to measure body composition in athletes, owing its ease of operation and comprehensive analysis composition. This study represents the first systematic investigation reliability DXA measurements trained individuals includes daily variability as well specific effect intake meal.Physically active young adults (15 females, 16 males) underwent five whole-body scans during 2-d period: morning after an overnight fast, ~5 min later...
Context: Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3 ) is often ingested at a dose of 0.3 g/kg body mass (BM), but ingestion protocols are inconsistent in terms using solution or capsules, period, combining NaHCO with sodium citrate (Na C 6 H 5 O 7 ), and coingested food fluid. Purpose: To quantify the effect ingesting on blood pH, [HCO −], gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms over subsequent hr range and, thus, to determine an optimal protocol. Methods: In crossover design, 13 physically active subjects...
Abstract Physique traits of a range elite athletes have been identified; however, few detailed investigations Olympic combat sports (judo, wrestling, taekwondo and boxing) exist. This is surprising given the importance body composition in weight category sports. We sought to develop descriptive database sport athletes, compare variables relative division examine differences within between Additionally, we investigated appropriateness athletes’ self‐selected classes compared an...
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...
We undertook a dietary survey of 167 Australian Olympic team athletes (80 females and 87 males) competing in endurance sports ( n = 41), 31), sprint- or skill-based 67), which are weight-conscious 28). Analysis their 7-day food diaries provided mean energy intakes, nutrient eating patterns. Higher intakes relative to body mass were reported by male compared with females, other athletes. Endurance substantially higher carbohydrate (CHO) than athletes, among the most likely consume CHO during...
Three patients with Crohn's disease and carcinoma of the anus are reported compared to a group anal cancer no inflammatory bowel disease. The three were relatively young women significant perianal There two squamous cell lesions one cloacogenic tumor in this group. relative incidence as proportion all colorectal cancer, (14%) was found be significantly higher than without (1.4%). Possible reasons for increased mentioned were: an overall increase malignancies disease, high chronic...
Purpose: The implications of undertaking DXA scans using best practice protocols (subjects fasted and rested) or a less precise but more practical protocol in assessing chronic changes body composition following training specialized recovery technique were investigated. Methods: Twenty-one male cyclists completed an overload program, which they randomized to four sessions per week either cold water immersion therapy control groups. Whole-body undertaken with (Best) random activity (Random)...
Purpose Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is rapidly becoming more accessible and popular as a technique to monitor body composition, especially in athletic populations. This study investigates the reliability of DXA measuring composition active individuals, specifically ascertain biological variability associated with two different types exercise under free-living conditions individuals. Methods Well-trained individuals (27 strength-trained male subjects, 14 female cyclists, cyclists)...
Purpose: Combat sport athletes undertake chronic and rapid weight loss (RWL) practices to qualify for divisions lower than their training weight. Variation between sports in the prevalence, methods, magnitude of as well recovery may be influenced by factors including competition level culture. Differences methodologies previous research combat make direct comparisons difficult; thus, this study aimed examine among all Olympic Australia, using standardized methodology. Methods: High-caliber...
Abstract Two, three and four compartment (2C, 3C 4C) models of body composition are popular methods to measure fat mass (FM) fat-free (FFM) in athletes. However, the impact food fluid intake on measurement error has not been established. The purpose this study was evaluate standardised (overnight fasted, rested hydrated) v . non-standardised (afternoon non-fasted) presentation technical biological surface anthropometry (SA), 2C, 4C models. In thirty-two athletic males, measures SA,...
We examined the relationship between regain of body mass (BM) after weigh-in and success in real-life judo competition. Eighty-six (36 females, 50 males) senior judoka volunteered for this observational study an international Subjects were weighed at official one hour before their first competition fight (15-20 hr later). Regain BM was compared medal winners nonmedalists, losers each fight, males females across weight divisions. Heavyweights excluded from analysis. Prefight greater than both...
