Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Most sport disciplines that include short explosive activities or repeated sprint abilities derive their energy through anaerobic processes. They include athletics sprints, jumps and throws, most combat sports and team sport games, yet the contribution of particular energetic pathways are very diversified. On one hand, this may include the resynthesis of ATP from CrP in very short activities performed with maximal intensity (100 m sprint), on the other CrP replenishment during bouts of repeated high-intensity exercise (basketball), as well as sport activities requiring speed endurance, where anaerobic glycolysis provides the majority of ATP for muscular contractions (400 m sprint). All these metabolic processes can be enhanced through diet and supplementation. This may include creatine, beta-alanine, vitamin D, caffeine, beetroot juice, sodium bicarbonate, or highly alkaline water. Dietary procedures can relate to pre-competition, competition, and post-competition nutrition, as well as to interventions altering body composition.
