Acute Topics in Sport Nutrition

Description

In high-performance sport an optimal diet and nutritional interventions can make the difference between victory and defeat. In recent years, sport nutrition research has increased. This publication provides scientifically-based information with regard to the bioefficacy of trendy sport supplements and dietary approaches off the mainstream. International experts in the specific fields inform and clarify under which circumstances the application of certain supplements and nutritional interventions would be beneficial, either for the performance or health of the athletes. A broad spectrum of recent topics in sport nutrition is provided: selected sport supplements aside of mainstream, nutritional interventions and athlete‘s health, hydration and fluid balance and current aspects in exercise and exercise recovery. Finally, the publication concludes with recent information about the risk of supplementation and inadvertent doping. The book will be of benefit to sport physicians and scientists, nutritionists, coaches and athletes, as well as to the sport nutrition trade and related industries.

Preface
In many high-performance sports, far less than one percent difference in maximum power density decides between victory and defeat. An optimal diet and nutritional interventions can make the difference between winners and losers. Hence it is plausible that athletes and their carers have also realized the importance of optimal nutrition to achieve at least a minor advantage when it comes to competitive sports. In recent years, sport nutrition research has increased, and scientific journals, university courses, advanced education, scientific societies, etc., in the field have received more and more attention. The sport nutrition trade and related industries reacted and sales and marketing for sport nutrition products increased hand in hand with the interest of the consumers.
Many scientific publications exist about the classic themes of sport nutrition, like carbohydrate, protein or vitamin intake. On the other hand, scientific articles on topics that are not mainstream are still scarce although these issues are of importance; for example, more information is needed about specific sport supplements and dietary approaches to minimize the conflicting information circulating among carers and their athletes.
This volume of Medicine and Sport Science is devoted to ‘Acute Topics in Sport Nutrition’ and provides scientifically-based information with regard to the bioefficacy of trendy sport supplements and dietary approaches away from the mainstream. Experts in specific fields have attempted to inform and clarify under which circumstances the application of certain supplements and nutritional interventions could be beneficial, either for the performance or health of the athletes. At this juncture, I would like to thank all the contributors for taking the time to provide their expertise via excellent and scientifically-based articles.
The sixteen chapters of this book refer to a broad spectrum of current topics in sport nutrition: four chapters are dedicated to selected sport supplements off the mainstream claimed to influence lactate accumulation (β-alanine; R. Harris & C. Sale), blood flow (arginine, citrulline; A. Sureda & A. Pons), oxygen consumption and mitochondrial respiration (dietary nitrate; A.M. Jones, S.J. Bailey, A. Vanhatalo), and growth hormone response (γ-aminobutyric acid, M. Powers). The chapters about probiotics (M. Lamprecht & A. Frauwallner), immunoglukan (J. Majtan), bovine colostrum (G. Davison), fruit and vegetable concentrates (M. Lamprecht), cherry juice (K.S. Kuehl), and milk consumption plus resistance training (A.R. Josse & S.M. Phillips) refer to athletes’ gut health, immune function, antioxidant potential, pain relief, and females’ body composition and skeletal health. Hydration, hyperhydration and fluid balance/loading are covered by three chapters about glycerol use (S.P. van Rosendal & J.S. Coombes), salt and fluid loading (R. Mora-Rodriguez & N. Hamouti), and milk protein consumption (L. James). The chapters about chocolate milk (K. Pritchett & R. Pritchett) and L -carnitine (A. Huang & K. Owen) treat the important issue about exercise recovery. Finally, there is one special chapter – apart from certain ingredients, substances or dietary interventions – that informs about over-the-counter sport supplements and inadvertent doping (C. Judkins & P. Prock).
Sport nutrition advisors, sport physicians and scientists as well as coaches and interested athletes will benefit from the current information provided by this volume. The sport nutrition industry could draw benefits from the expert remarks in this book to create innovative ideas for the development of new and effective products. And it would also be desirable that this volume of Medicine and Sport Science stimulates research collaborations between sport nutrition scientists and companies in the field to improve the nutritional support to the target group that should benefit the most – the adult athlete.
