Supplements - IAAF Nutrition for Athletics
2008-01-21 10:00:00 This summary is from the IAAF 2nd International Consensus Conference on “Nutrition for Athletic s “ held in Monaco from April 18-20, 2007. Copies of the CD and booklet are available from the IAAF website www.iaaf.org. Supplements Presenter: Ron Maughan (GBR) The knowledge level of athletes concerning sports nutrition is not good and very much influenced by the supplement industry. Advertorials are often seen as a good source of information. In general, the supplement industry is better in communicating their message than are scientists. It is recognised that because of limitations in research design it is very hard to prove if a strategy or supplement works. “No proven effect” is not the same as “proven no effect’: There might be an effect that cannot be detected by present research methodology. Athletes should be warned against indiscriminate use of supplements. The risk of contamination of supplements with substances that are on the WADA list i...

Saving Money on Overseas International Calls - Part 2
2008-01-15 19:00:00 The world of technology changes rapidly in 6 months! My last review of Saving Money on Overseas International Calls was in July 2007 so it’s time for an update on the latest in cost savings. Everyone knows how expensive it is to use your cell phone while overseas. I returned from my month long trip at the WMA in Riccione, Italy, and believe me, you do NOT want to see my cell phone bill. (I have a GSM phone). I’ll be 100% honest here… my cell phone bill was more than my rent! It’s no secret that I’m a big advocator for VoIP. I’ve had it for 3 years now, and I had only one outage, and that was due to my Internet connection going down for less than an hour. With the upcoming February meets in Australia, the summer Golden League meets in Europe, and of course the Olympics Games in Beijing China, you’ll need a service to call your athletes, or they will need to call you from overseas. Now, if I told you and your athletes can use your cell ph... More About: Part
Fluid Needs for Training and Competition in Athletics - IAAF Nutrition for
2008-01-15 15:00:00 This summary is from the IAAF 2nd International Consensus Conference on “Nutrition for Athletics “ held in Monaco from April 18-20, 2007. Copies of the CD and booklet are available from the IAAF website www.iaaf.org. Fluid Needs for Training and Competition in Athletics Presenter: Susan Sherriffs (GBR) Hydration status affects performance. Different events have different fluid needs. General guidelines for all events are to ensure euhydration by consuming about 500ml of fluid with sodium or sodium containing foods 2 hours before exercise. In the hours after exercise, 150% of the water lost should be provided to adequately re-hydrate. A scale can be used to estimate sweat losses. Competition hydration plans should be practiced during training. The main concern in the sprint events is that warm-up and pre-race activities might result in a sub-optimal hydration status. Also, training in a warm environment or wearing heavy clothing can result in dehydration. There might be...

2008-01-11 15:13:00 Vitamin B12 has been the subject of controversy lately. More of a scapegoat, to be exact.
