Evaluation of the BOD POD for assessing body fat in collegiate football players

Article Abstract:

The accuracy of a new air displacement plethysmograph BOD POD Body Composition System for determining the percentage of body fat of college football players is analyzed, finding the assessment of that percentage to be reliable and requiring minimal technical expertise. The percentage values were, however, underpredicted when compared to the HW, DXA and the 3C models.

Should carbohydrate concentration of a sports drink be less than 8% during exercise in the heat?

Article Abstract:

An attempt is made to determine whether sports drinks with 6 and 8% carbohydrate differentially affect physiological responses or run performance in the heat. According to the American College of Sports Medicine Position Stand, 6 and 8% carbohydrate-electrolyte beverages would both improve exercise performance and maintain higher blood glucose compared to placebo.

Effects of high-fat or high-carbohydrate diets on endurance exercise: A meta-analysis

Article Abstract:

An investigation was conducted to clarify, via a meta-analysis, whether the literature favors a high-carbohydrate diet to yield superior endurance exercise performance. The test for homogeneity revealed significant heterogeneity among effect sizes, indicating that all the trials did not describe the same effect.
