• Randomly assign participants to treatment and placebo groups, balancing for participant features (e.g., sex, age, fitness, or training characteristics) that could interact with the treatment. • In a crossover study, provide each of the treatments to participants in a randomized counterbalanced order to remove the effect of time or training on study outcomes. • Be aware that the performances of highly-trained athletes are typically more reliable than those of recreational participants, ...
Promote recovery after the event, particularly during multiday competitions such as tournaments and stage races. Even where athletes compete in a weekly fixture, optimal recovery is desired to allow the athlete to train between matches or races. Recovery encompasses a complex range of nutrition-related issues including restoration of muscle and liver glycogen stores, replacement of fluid and electrolytes lost in sweat, and regeneration, repair, and adaptation processes following the ...
Four Human Kinetics titles are on the American Dietetic Association’s recommended reading list for CSSD candidates.

Muscle glycogen stores can be significantly affected by acute bouts of endurance exercise, intermittent exercise, and resistance exercise (31, 54, 164). Increases in insulin levels have been associated with an increase in the uptake of amino acids, a stimulation of muscle protein synthesis, a reduction in muscle protein breakdown, and an increase in protein balance (9, 10). Thus, it can be recommended that athletes consume a carbohydrate and protein beverage to stimulate muscle glycogen and ...
The support function of bones requires that they be strong, and understanding of bone remodeling is key for preventing loss in bone strength commonly seen in female dancers. In general, bones have an outer layer of very dense bone called compact bone and an inner layer of less dense bone called spongy, trabecular, or cancellous bone. The compact bone, cancellous bone, and other structures present in a typical long bone are shown in figure 1.2.
Achieving body mass and body fat goals often requires considerable body mass reduction. Untrained individuals and beginning athletes can lose body fat (and sometimes body mass) while increasing LBM as a result of caloric restriction and training (Stone et al. However, it is unlikely that athletes already possessing a low body fat and low percent fat can lose substantial body mass and not lose some LBM as well, especially if caloric restriction is used to enhance body mass loss (Ballor et al...
