Book Food  Nutrition and Sports Performance III

Download or read book Food Nutrition and Sports Performance III written by Ronald J. Maughan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-21 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As sport has become more professionalised over the last thirty years, so the role of nutrition in promoting health and performance has become ever more important to athletes who search for the extra edge to succeed in their respective sports. With the expansion in the provision of medical and scientific support services in elite sport, those who advise athletes have had to become adept at identifying those dietary strategies that will help them to outperform their competitors. This book is structured in two parts. The first analyses the science that underpins the nutritional goals of athletes, with a focus on the implications for athletes during training, competition and recovery. The second looks more closely at the practical implications for different sport categories, i.e. those that focus on strength, power or endurance, and on weight category sports, team sports and winter sports. This volume will be of value to sports dieticians and nutritionists and others involved in the care and support of athletes, as well as to those who take an interest in the subject of sport nutrition and competitive performance. Coaches and athletes will also find much of interest here. This book is based on the proceedings of the third in a series of Consensus Conferences in Sports Nutrition organised under the auspices of the International Olympic Committee. It was published as a special issue of the Journal of Sports Sciences.

Download or read book Dietary Sugars and Health written by Michael I. Goran and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-12-10 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sugar consumption is suspected to play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, fatty liver disease, and some forms of cancers. Dietary sugars—fructose in particular—also have a potential role in obesity and metabolic diseases. Dietary Sugars and Health presents all aspects of dietary sugars as they relate to health and disease. It provides a review of the current science related to dietary sugars, ranging from historical and cultural perspectives to food science and production to basic research, animal trials, human pathophysiology, epidemiology, and public health policy implications. Each chapter features a concise, thorough summary of the current knowledge, including an overview of cutting-edge research, controversies, and future perspectives. The book provides a balanced approach through global and multidisciplinary contributions as well as input from various sectors, from academia to the food and beverage industry. The overall collection provides readers with a balanced and complete view of the science related to dietary sugars and health. This book is an invaluable reference for food scientists, nutrition scientists, clinical and translational researchers, obesity researchers, physiologists, public health scientists, and policy makers.

Book Carbohydrate Intake and Metabolism During Prolonged Endurance Exercise

Download or read book Carbohydrate Intake and Metabolism During Prolonged Endurance Exercise written by and published by . This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well accepted that CHO ingestion can improve endurance performance. However, a number of questions remain open regarding fine-tuning CHO intake recommendations during prolonged endurance events. A way to measure the bioavailability of ingested CHO is to measure exogenous CHO oxidation with the use of \(^{13}\)C or \(^{14}\)C tracers. This, however, has been studied only with CHO solutions, predominantly during cycling. In this thesis, we demonstrated that glucose+fructose ingested in the form of gel (1.8 g/min) is as effectively oxidized as an isocarbohydrate solution (1.44±0.29 g/min vs 1.42±0.23 g/min, respectively). Accordingly, the ingestion of glucose+fructose in a solid bar (1.55 g CHO/min) was demonstrated to be oxidized at high rates (1.25±0.15 g/min), comparable to a solution (1.34±0.27 g/min). A comparison of CHO ingestion (1.5 g/min) during cycling and running at the same relative, moderate-intensity (~60% exercise-specific VO\(_2\)max) resulted in similar exogenous CHO oxidation rates (1.25±0.10 g/min vs 1.19±0.08 g/min, respectively). The present thesis also tested the gastrointestinal (GI) tolerance of high CHO ingestion rates (1.4 g CHO/min), previously recommended to athletes. High intakes in the form of a glucose+fructose gel were, on average, well tolerated during a 16-km run, and there was no difference between tolerance of glucose and glucose+fructose gel. A questionnaire-based field study of 221 athletes during prolonged endurance events (running, cycling and triathlon) revealed that voluntary CHO intake rates vary greatly between events and individuals (6-136 g/h). High CHO intakes were related to increased scores for nausea and flatulence as well as to better performance. GI distress during all studies was correlated with a reported history of GI distress. Findings from those studies suggest a need for more individualized nutritional advice that optimizes CHO and fluid delivery to enhance performance, while minimizing GI discomfort.

Book Sports Nutrition

Download or read book Sports Nutrition written by Bill Campbell and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the constant flow of information related to sports nutrition coming from scholarly journals, it is difficult to sift through it all and determine what is relevant. Sports Nutrition: Enhancing Athletic Performance helps in this endeavor, with more than 1,000 references from top academic journals, offering critical knowledge concerning nutrient ingestion for enhancing exercise and sports performance. This book offers a clear focus on scientifically based sports nutrition advice to maximize performance. It also addresses exercise metabolism, which governs how nutrients exert physiologic effects that lead to increased athletic potential. The book examines the three key macronutrients: fat, carbohydrate, and protein. It discusses various aspects of macronutrient metabolism, including differences between a body at rest and during high-intensity exercise. Topics covered in the text include the following: Nutrient timing Leucine threshold to optimize muscle protein synthesis Carbohydrate manipulations for better endurance- and resistance-exercise performance Dietary fat intake recommendations for improving performance Carbohydrate loading strategies Optimal amounts of protein to ingest on a meal-by-meal basis Pre-exercise dietary fat intake strategies Comparison of high-quality proteins In addition to enhancing performance, the book describes how to improve body composition, presenting a scientifically based strategy for losing body fat while maintaining precious lean muscle mass. Four principles of fat loss are set forth that are integral for success in optimizing body composition. This book presents both performance nutrition principles and exercise biochemistry, addressing the key questions of what, when, and how much to ingest for improved performance and training recovery.
