Influence of exercise mode and carbohydrate on the immune response to prolonged exercise

Article Abstract:

Carbohydrate ingestion significantly affects cortisol and plasma glucose concentrations, blood lymphocyte counts and natural killer cell cytotoxicity (NKCA), but exercise mode has no effect on the same factors. How exercise mode and carbohydrate affect the immune response to prolonged exercise has been studied. A placebo and a 6% carbohydrate were compared. Expressed per monocyte, the mode effect was gone and a sustained suppression in IL-1 beta/monocyte was seen in all sessions through recovery.

Carbohydrate feedings during team sport exercise preserve physical and CNS function

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine the effect of carbohydrate feedings on physical and central nervous system (CNS) function during intermittent high-intensity exercise with physical demands similar to those of team sports such as basketball. The results suggest that that the carbohydrate feedings during intermittent high-intensity exercise similar to that of team sports benefited both peripheral and CNS function late in exercise compared with a flavored placebo.

Effects of carbohydrate and chromium ingestion during intermittent high-intensity exercise to fatigue

Article Abstract:

This article compares the effects of consuming a carbohydrate and electrolyte drink or an identical beverage with the addition of chromium picolinate on exercise performance in healthy men. Findings indicate that both drinks increase blood glucose concentrations and enhance performance during intense exercise when compared to the placebo beverage.
