Journal ArticleDOI
Salivary hormones, IgA, and performance during intense training and tapering in judo athletes.
TL;DR: It is indicated that salivary hormones display diurnal variation, and changes in hormonal responses, mood state, and muscle soreness precede enhancements in performance and mucosal immunity, suggesting that judo athletes taper for at least a week before competition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Oral Glutamine Supplementation on Human Neutrophil Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated Degranulation Following Prolonged Exercise
TL;DR: It is suggested that the fall in plasma glutamine concentration does not account for the decrease in neutrophil function (degranulation response) following prolonged exercise.
Book
The Biochemical Basis of Sports Performance
TL;DR: The author examines the effects of diet on substrate availability and factors involved in fatigue, as well as the role of nutritional supplements in the development of strength and conditioning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salivary antimicrobial peptides (LL-37 and alpha-defensins HNP1-3), antimicrobial and IgA responses to prolonged exercise
TL;DR: The increased concentration of AMPs in saliva may confer some benefit to the ‘first line of defence’ and could result from synergistic compensation within the mucosal immune system and/or airway inflammation and epithelial damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interrelationship between Physical Activity and Branched-Chain Amino Acids
TL;DR: No valid scientific evidence supports the commercial claims that orally ingested BCAAs have an anticatabolic effect during and after exercise in humans or that BCAA supplements may accelerate the repair of muscle damage after exercise.
