Football is a global game which constantly evolving, showing substantial increases in physical and technical demands. Nutrition plays valuable integrated role optimising performance of elite players during training match-play, maintaining their overall health throughout the season. An evidence-based approach to nutrition emphasising, 'food first' philosophy (ie, food over supplements), fundamental ensure effective player support. This requires relevant scientific evidence be applied according constraints what practical feasible football setting. The science underpinning sports evolving fast, practitioners must alert new developments. In response these developments, Union European Associations (UEFA) has gathered experts research as well working with clubs national associations/federations issue an expert statement on range topics nutrition: (1) match day nutrition, (2) (3) body composition, (4) stressful environments travel, (5) cultural diversity dietary considerations, (6) supplements, (7) rehabilitation, (8) referees (9) junior high-level players. group provide narrative synthesis background relating based knowledge experience literature, applying within Our intention readers content help drive own recommendations. addition, guidance researchers where focus future efforts.

Abstract Adolescence (ages 13–18 years) is a period of significant growth and physical development that includes changes in body composition, metabolic hormonal fluctuations, maturation organ systems, establishment nutrient deposits, which all may affect future health. In terms nutrition, adolescence also an important time establishing individual’s lifelong relationship with food, particularly the connection between diet, exercise, image.

Prevalence of Dietary Supplement Use among Athletes Worldwide: A Scoping Review

Nutrients, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 14(19), С. 4109 - 4109

Опубликована: Окт. 3, 2022

Athletes represent a major part of dietary supplement users. This scoping review aims to explore the prevalence use among athletes worldwide, most commonly used supplements, sources information on supplements and their reasons for these supplements. PubMed, CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycInfo were searched original research articles. Studies included if they involved athletes, identified use, published after 2017. A total 26 articles reviewed. Prevalence varied articles, but sex-based differences related types existed. Generally, findings consistent in terms information. Unfortunately, lack homogeneity regarding definition reporting timeframes, data collection methods complicates attempt compare studies.

“Food First but Not Always Food Only”: Recommendations for Using Dietary Supplements in Sport

International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 32(5), С. 371 - 386

Опубликована: Март 12, 2022

The term "food first" has been widely accepted as the preferred strategy within sport nutrition, although there is no agreed definition of this and often limited consideration implications. We propose that food first should mean "where practically possible, nutrient provision come from whole foods drinks rather than isolated components or dietary supplements." There are many reasons to commend a strategy, including risk supplement contamination resulting in anti-doping violations. However, few supplements can enhance health and/or performance, therefore only approach could be inappropriate. six why may not always optimal for athletes: (a) some nutrients difficult obtain sufficient quantities diet, require excessive energy intake consumption other nutrients; (b) abundant athletes do eat/like; (c) content with established ergogenic benefits highly variable; (d) concentrated doses required correct deficiencies promote immune tolerance; (e) consume immediately before, during after exercise; (f) tested help where concerns about hygiene contamination. In these situations, it acceptable athlete consider sports providing comprehensive minimization implemented. As consequence, important stress terminology but only."

Repetitive Feeding-Challenge With Different Nutritional Densities on Markers of Gastrointestinal Function, Substrate Oxidation, and Endurance Exercise Performance

International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown, С. 1 - 19

Gut-training has been shown to improve gastrointestinal tolerance, circulatory glucose availability, and exercise performance. The study aimed investigate the effects of a repetitive feeding-challenge using fat versus carbohydrate (CHO) on markers function, subsequent performance when challenged with high-CHO load (87 g/hr) during exercise. Forty-four endurance athletes (mean ± SD [9 females 35 males]: body mass: 71.2 9.2 kg, height: 173.6 7.0 cm, : 55.0 6.1 ml·kg −1 ·min ) completed preintervention gut-challenge trial (T1), involving 2 hr run (60% while taking CHO gel every 20 min g/hr, 10% w/v ), followed by 1 self-paced distance test ad libitum water.

Nutritional interventions are not commonly a standard of care in rehabilitation interventions. A nutritional approach has the potential to be low-cost, high-volume strategy that complements existing care. In this commentary, our aim is provide an evidence-based, practical guide for athletes with injuries treated surgically or conservatively, along healing and considerations. Injuries normal expected part exercise participation. Regardless severity, injury typically results athlete's short- long-term removal from may augment recovery process support optimal healing; therefore, incorporating strategies important at each stage process. Preoperative nutrition demands during key factors consider. The physiological response wounds, immobilization, traumatic brain improved by optimizing macronutrient composition, caloric consumption, nutrient timing using select dietary supplements. Previous research supports recommendations reduce surgical complications, minimize deficits after maximize chance safe return play. These include identifying individual's requirements ensure energy needs being met. higher protein intake, special attention evenly distributed consumption throughout day, will help loss muscle strength immobilization. Dietary-supplement useful when navigating challenges appropriate intake reduced appetite. also requires strong plan enhance injury. Athletic trainers, physical therapists, other health professionals should basic rehabilitation, discuss meals respect therapy, refer patient registered dietitian if warranted. Because plays essential role become component standard-of-care practice article, we address best practices implementing among patients athletic injuries.

Strenuous exercise is synonymous with disturbing gastrointestinal integrity and function, subsequently prompting systemic immune responses exercise-associated symptoms, a condition established as "exercise-induced syndrome." When stress aligned exacerbation factors (i.e., extrinsic intrinsic) are of substantial magnitude, these perturbations can cause performance decrements health implications clinical significance. This potentially explains the exponential growth in exploratory, mechanistic, interventional research gastroenterology to understand, accurately measure interpret, prevent or attenuate debilitating consequences exercise-induced syndrome. Considering recent advancement research, it has been highlighted that published literature area consistently affected by experimental limitations may affect accuracy translating study outcomes into practical application/s and/or design future research. perspective methodological review attempts highlight concerns provides guidance improve validity, reliability, robustness next generation These include participant screening description, exertional heat load, dietary control, hydration status, food fluid provisions, circadian variation, biological sex differences, comprehensive assessment markers syndrome, validity symptoms tool, data reporting presentation. Standardized procedures needed for accurate interpretation findings, avoiding misinterpreted (e.g., pathological relevance response magnitude) overstated conclusions intervention outcomes), which will support more translation safe practice guidelines.
