Many studies examine sports nutrition and its effects on different types of athletes. The Sports Nutrition section of Exercise Physiology publishes research on supplementation, its components and their effects in sport.

Here are the three latest posts published in the Sports Nutrition section:

  • Caffeine, Muscle Strength and Fatigue Tolerance. In this article, Exercise Physiology explains how caffeine improved fatigue tolerance and showed a trend toward improved maximal strength.

  • Nutritional Comparison of Beef-Protein Extract Versus Whey Protein. Whey protein provides a greater proportion of essential amino acids, especially leucine, while beef protein is supplied in a formulation richer in other nutrients such as fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.

  • Octopamine Supplementation and Performance. According to Exercise Physiology, the study found that acute administration of a low dose of octopamine did not improve aerobic endurance performance.

We will continue collaborating with Exercise Physiology to report on and share posts in the Sports Nutrition section.
