Book The Effects of Carbohydrate protein Supplementation on Endurance Exercise Performance  Recovery  and Training Adaptation

Download or read book The Effects of Carbohydrate protein Supplementation on Endurance Exercise Performance Recovery and Training Adaptation written by Lisa Ferguson Stegall and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent research suggests that adding protein (PRO) to a carbohydrate (CHO) supplement can have substantial benefits for endurance exercise performance and recovery beyond that of CHO alone. CHO+PRO supplements are often commercially available formulations consisting of carbohydrates (dextrose, maltodextrin) and whey protein. The effects of a supplement containing moderate protein and a low-CHO mixture on endurance performance has not been investigated. Also, the effects of CHO+PRO supplementation in the form of a natural food, flavored milk, on measures of recovery from acute endurance exercise, as well as on chronic aerobic exercise training adaptations, have not been characterized. Therefore, in this series of four studies, the effects of CHO+PRO supplementation on the following areas of endurance exercise performance, recovery, and adaptation are investigated: acute endurance exercise performance, inflammatory and muscle damage markers, muscle glycogen resynthesis, activation of signaling proteins involved in the initiation of protein synthesis and degradation, subsequent endurance exercise performance, and chronic aerobic training adaptations (maximal oxygen consumption, oxidative enzyme activity, body composition, immune cell levels, and inflammatory markers). Study 1 demonstrated that a supplement containing a low-CHO mixture plus moderate protein significantly improved aerobic endurance when cycling at or below the ventilatory threshold, despite containing 50% less CHO and 30% fewer calories relative to a higher CHO beverage. Study 2 demonstrated that CHO+PRO supplementation in the form of chocolate milk (CM) is an effective post-exercise supplement that can improve subsequent performance and provide a greater intracellular signaling stimulus for protein synthesis compared to CHO and placebo. Study 3 found that post-exercise CM supplementation during 4.5 wks of aerobic exercise training improves the magnitude of cardiovascular adaptations more effectively than isocaloric CHO or placebo, while the fourth study demonstrated that post-exercise CM supplementation during 4.5 wks of aerobic training improves body composition more effectively than isocaloric CHO or placebo. The fourth study also demonstrated that 4.5 wks of training does not appear to perturb resting immune cell concentrations or markers of inflammation and muscle damage. Taken together, the results of this research series suggest that CHO+PRO supplementation extends endurance performance, improves recovery, and increases training adaptations more effectively than CHO or placebo.

Book Recovery from Strenuous Exercise

Download or read book Recovery from Strenuous Exercise written by Steve Bedford and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coaches, managers and athletes frequently ask about how they can recover as fast as possible from fatigue and improve subsequent performance. Recovery from Strenuous Exercise informs students, athletes and practicing strength and conditioning coaches and performance therapists on how to use the latest scientific evidence to inform their recovery practice – particularly during high training volumes and competitive cycles. This book empowers the athlete, the coach and the therapist by giving them greater confidence, improving their critical thinking, helping them to avoid poor practice and enhancing their understanding of what causes fatigue and how its effects can be minimised. Recovery from Strenuous Exercise covers many of the aspects required to make a highly skilled, confident, knowledgeable personal trainer, sports therapist or strength and conditioning coach. It also acts as a recovery ‘go-to’ guide for competitive recreational athletes who lack the knowledge and guidance on optimal recovery protocols used by their professional peers. This text serves as a learning and research aid for athletes and those studying vocational personal training and sports therapy courses, and those studying other courses where recovery modalities form part of their undergraduate and postgraduate study, such as strength and conditioning, sports science, sports therapy, sports rehabilitation, osteopathy and physiotherapy.

Book The Effects of Carbohydrate and Amino Acids on Muscle Protein Synthesis After Acute Resistance Exercise and Muscle Adaptation Following Chronic Resistance Training

Download or read book The Effects of Carbohydrate and Amino Acids on Muscle Protein Synthesis After Acute Resistance Exercise and Muscle Adaptation Following Chronic Resistance Training written by Wanyi Wang (M.S. in Kinesiology) and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resistance exercise (RE) is purported to induce muscle protein accretion primarily by stimulating muscle protein synthesis (MPS), with its effect potentiated by providing a protein or amino acid (AA) supplement post exercise. Glutamine, a conditionally essential AA, is increasingly recommended to improve exercise performance, but it is poorly soluble and unstable in sports drinks. This limitation can be overcome by combining L-glutamine with L-alanine to form a dipeptide (AlaGln). The first study demonstrated that AlaGln supplementation post resistance exercise significantly reduced the phosphorylation of AMPK and NF-kB p65 without activating intracellular signals for MPS. This study also showed that whey protein (WP) activated the mTOR signaling pathways without affecting signaling proteins that controls muscle protein breakdown (MPB). The results provide indirect evidence that AlaGln blocks MPB via suppressing the activation of AMPK-FOXO3A and NF-kB p65, while WP promotes MPS. Recent research suggests that adding carbohydrate (CHO) to a protein supplement post exercise can produce greater protein accretion and subsequently increase the magnitude of resistance training adaptation relative to protein supplementation alone. Early studies from our laboratory found that co-ingestion of CHO and protein, as compared with CHO or protein intake individually, had a greater effect on the activation of anabolic signaling proteins. However, the effect of CHO plus protein on MPS and muscle adaptation is controversial. The second study demonstrated that adding CHO to a protein supplement (CP) accelerated MPS via activating the mTOR-signaling pathway in comparison with placebo (PLA) and WP during early exercise recovery, but CP did not affect signaling proteins that regulate MPB. The third study found that CP enhanced muscle strength relative to PLA and WP. The greater strength development in CP appeared due to increased myofibrillar protein content. Increased muscle hypertrophy occurred without an increase in myonuclei suggesting satellite cell activation was not required for muscle fiber development. Taken together, the results of this series of studies suggest that 1) AlaGln inhibits MPB following acute RE; 2) Adding CHO to a protein supplement accelerates muscle recovery by stimulating MPS, and increases the magnitude of muscle strength by accumulating more myofibrillar protein in comparison with PLA and WP.

Book The Effects of Pasture raised Versus Conventional Whey Protein Supplementation on Vascular Function and Markers of Exercise induced Muscle Damage in Resistance trained Individuals

Download or read book The Effects of Pasture raised Versus Conventional Whey Protein Supplementation on Vascular Function and Markers of Exercise induced Muscle Damage in Resistance trained Individuals written by Matthew Joseph Barenie and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eccentric exercise can result in exercise induced muscle damage (EIMD). This can cause an abundance of ultrastructural muscular disruption and pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidant activity, leading to an impairment of muscular force production, elevated pain sensitivity, increased swelling, and arterial stiffness. Pasture-raised dairy products, obtained from strictly grass-fed cows, have been shown to possess more anti-inflammatory-, antioxidant-, and antihypertensive-like biochemicals compared with conventional products. Conventional dairy products differ from pasture-raised dairy products because conventional cows are fed a diet rich in grains rather than grasses. Human research trials on pasture-raised products, such as whey protein concentrate (WPC), are neglected. This study addressed this gap by employing a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial that compares the effect of conventional WPC (C-WPC) versus pasture-raised WPC (PR-WPC) supplementation on vascular function and indirect markers of muscle damage in response to eccentric EIMD in healthy, young, resistance-trained women and men. Thirty-nine individuals completed an EIMD bout consisting of eccentric squats and were assessed 24, 48, and 72 hours post-EIMD for muscle soreness and damage, maximal isometric voluntary contraction (MIVC), peripheral fatigue, countermovement jump (CMJ), barbell back squat velocity (BBSV), and vascular function assessed via carotid femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV).The data supports the use of PR-WPC for its mitigation of barbell speed decrements 48 hours post-EIMD compared to C-WPC. However, compared to PR-WPC, C-WPC seems to infer a protective effect on biomarkers of muscle damage (urinary titin) excretion, MIVC reduction, and peripheral fatigue. The iso-caloric carbohydrate placebo group fared better in the more explosive lifting measures of the CMJ and BBSV. In regard to PWV, arterial stiffness was unaffected throughout. Our data do not support the use of PR-WPC compared to C-WPC supplementation in alleviating the deleterious effects of EIMD in resistance trained individuals.

Download or read book Effect of a Milk based Protein Carbohydrate Beverage on Attenuating Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness Makers of Muscle Damage and Inflammation and Sprint Performance Following Gaelic Football Match Play written by Kevin Reilly and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose To compare the effect of milk based protein-carbohydrate beverage (MP-CHO) and a carbohydrate only beverage (CHO) immediately following Gaelic football match play on markers of muscle damage and inflammation, muscle soreness and sprint performance. Methods Male Gaelic football players with a mean age of 17.4 years played a competitive Gaelic football game after which they consumed a 500 mL of either a MP-CHO beverage or a CHO only beverage. Blood samples were taken and subjective muscle soreness was measured before, immediately post-game and at 12 h, 36 h and 60 h post-game. Sprint performance was measured pre-game and at 12 h, 36 h and 60 h post-game. Heart rate and movement patterns were continuously measured using telemetry and GPS tracking, respectively. Results Measured activity characteristics and impact zones were similar in MP-CHO and CHO during match-play. No significant main effect for group or interaction effects between time and group was observed for CK, circulating leukocytes, muscle soreness or 5 m and 20 m sprint times. Creatine kinase (CK) levels were elevated (p

Book The Role of Protein Following Intense Exercise in Competitive Youth Athletes

Download or read book The Role of Protein Following Intense Exercise in Competitive Youth Athletes written by Brandon McKinlay and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overall purpose of this thesis was to examine the role of post-exercise dairy protein consumption (isolated and whole-food) on recovery indices (performance and muscle damage) and inflammation following intense exercise within the context of different ecologically valid sporting environments, i.e., acute competition and a short-term period of intensified training, in competitive youth athletes. For this, two studies were conducted. Study 1 (Chapter 3) investigated the effect of whey protein consumption following a high-intensity interval swim session (HIIS) among adolescent swimmers on subsequent performance, muscle soreness, plasma creatine kinase and inflammatory cytokines, compared with isoenergetic carbohydrate and flavoured water in the acute (0-8 h) and short-term (8-24 h) recovery periods. Study 2 (Chapter 4) examined the effects of increased protein consumption, via plain Greek yogurt, compared with an isoenergetic carbohydrate control on performance recovery, inflammation, and muscle damage, during a 5-day simulated soccer training camp in competitive adolescent female soccer players. The collective findings indicate that during both acute and short-term periods of intensified exercise, the provision of dairy protein regardless of form (isolated or whole food), provided no added benefit at enhancing performance recovery or ameliorating muscle damage above that of energy matched carbohydrates. However, it does appear that the consumption of calories, regardless of type (e.g., carbohydrates or dairy protein), when rapid recovery is required, offers greater performance retainment than water. Therefore, during periods of intensified exercise that may be accompanied by inadequate recovery, the replenishment of energy should be the primary focus. Further, in both studies the consumption of dairy protein following exercise leads to an augmented anti-inflammatory response (i.e., increased IL10), not observed in the control conditions (i.e., water or energy-matched carbohydrates). Thus, it is possible that dairy protein consumption post-exercise may benefit the acute immune response. This possibility requires further study.

Book The Effects of Carbohydrate and Protein Supplementation on Signaling Pathways Regulating Protein Turnover and Muscle Mass Following Chronic Resistance Training

Download or read book The Effects of Carbohydrate and Protein Supplementation on Signaling Pathways Regulating Protein Turnover and Muscle Mass Following Chronic Resistance Training written by Lu Huang (M. S. in Kinesiology) and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skeletal muscle is important for physical activity and regulation of metabolism. Increase or maintenance of muscle mass is pursued by different populations ranging from athletes to people suffering from severe muscular diseases causing muscle atrophy/wasting. In this study, four animal groups were generated: sedentary group (No supplements or exercise) (SED); resistance training (RE) and whey supplements (WP); RE and combo (Carbohydrate and whey) supplements (CP); RE and placebo (DI water) (PLA). Flexor hallucis longus (FHL) muscles were collected after 8 weeks of training. Expression of several key proteins controlling muscle mass and protein turnover were measured in order to compare how different combinations affect muscle growth. It was found that resistance training induced reductions in myostatin protein expression compared with sedentary controls (p
