Eating attitudes, exercise identity, and body alienation in competitive ultramarathoners

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted on eighty-seven competitive ultramarathoners (73 males, 14 females) who completed the Eating Aptitude Test-26, Exercise Identity Scale, and Body Alienation scale to examine the relationships among eating attitudes, exercise identity, and body alienation in ultramarathoners. The results shows that subjects with high exercise identity reported more eating disorder behaviors and higher injury tolerance than persons with low exercise identity.

The influence of chokeberry juice supplementation on the reduction of oxidative stress resulting from an incremental rowing ergometer exercise

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to investigate the influence of an increased intake of anthocyanins, contained in chokeberry juice, on the redox parameters in rowers performing a physical exercise during a 1-month training camp. The findings indicate that an increased intake of anthocyanins limits the exercise-induced oxidative damage to red blood cells, by enhancing the endogenous antioxidant defense system.

Supplementation with beta-hydroxy- beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) and alpha-ketoisocaproic acid (KIC) reduces signs and symptoms of exercise-induced muscle damage in man

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of beta-hydroxy- beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) and alpha-ketoisocaproic acid (KIC) supplementation on the signs and symptoms of muscle injury caused by physical activity. Observations reveal that the signs and symptoms of such an injury decrease with HMB and KIC supplementation.
