“…Similarly, Bailey and colleagues [ 645 ] concluded that acute arginine supplementation reduced the oxygen cost of moderate-intensity exercise and increased tolerance to high-intensity training. Moreover, Pahlavani et al [ 646 ] supplemented male athletes with arginine in a double-blind fashion and concluded that arginine supplementation significantly increased sport performance. As it stands, most of the published literature that has examined the ability of arginine to operate in an ergogenic fashion has failed to report positive outcomes.…”

BackgroundSports nutrition is a constantly evolving field with hundreds of research papers published annually. In the year 2017 alone, 2082 articles were published under the key words ‘sport nutrition’. Consequently, staying current with the relevant literature is often difficult.MethodsThis paper is an ongoing update of the sports nutrition review article originally published as the lead paper to launch the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition in 2004 and updated in 2010. It presents a well-referenced overview of the current state of the science related to optimization of training and performance enhancement through exercise training and nutrition. Notably, due to the accelerated pace and size at which the literature base in this research area grows, the topics discussed will focus on muscle hypertrophy and performance enhancement. As such, this paper provides an overview of: 1.) How ergogenic aids and dietary supplements are defined in terms of governmental regulation and oversight; 2.) How dietary supplements are legally regulated in the United States; 3.) How to evaluate the scientific merit of nutritional supplements; 4.) General nutritional strategies to optimize performance and enhance recovery; and, 5.) An overview of our current understanding of nutritional approaches to augment skeletal muscle hypertrophy and the potential ergogenic value of various dietary and supplemental approaches.ConclusionsThis updated review is to provide ISSN members and individuals interested in sports nutrition with information that can be implemented in educational, research or practical settings and serve as a foundational basis for determining the efficacy and safety of many common sport nutrition products and their ingredients.

“…However, a double-blind, controlled, randomized study tested the effectiveness of 2 g arginine supplementation on performance of 56 soccer players during 45 days and found significant improvements in maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) with subsequent performance increase [69]. Twenty-eight soccer players were selected and supplemented with 6 g arginine during 14 days, and their performance in the RAST protocol on six 35-m consecutive sprints with 10 s of active rest was tested.…”

Background: Soccer is an extremely competitive sport, where the most match important moments can be defined in detail. Use of ergogenic supplements can be crucial to improve the performance of a high-performance athlete. Therefore, knowing which ergogenic supplements are important for soccer players can be an interesting strategy to maintain high level in this sport until final and decisive moments of the match. In addition, other supplements, such as dietary supplements, have been studied and increasingly referenced in the scientific literature. But, what if ergogenic supplements were combined with dietary supplements? This review brings some recommendations to improve performance of soccer athletes on the field through dietary and/or ergogenic supplements that can be used simultaneously. Summary: Soccer is a competitive sport, where the match important moments can be defined in detail. Thus, use of ergogenic supplements covered in this review can improve performance of elite soccer players maintaining high level in the match until final moments, such as creatine 3–5 g day−1, caffeine 3–6 mg kg−1 BW around 60 min before the match, sodium bicarbonate 0.1–0.4 g kg−1 BW starting from 30 to 180 min before the match, β-alanine 3.2 and 6.4 g day−1 provided in the sustained-release tablets divided into 4 times a day, and nitrate-rich beetroot juice 60 g in 200 mL of water (6 mmol of NO3− L) around 120 min before match or training, including a combination possible with taurine 50 mg kg−1 BW day−1, citrulline 1.2–3.4 g day−1, and arginine 1.2–6 g day−1. Key Messages: Soccer athletes can combine ergogenic and dietary supplements to improve their performance on the field. The ergogenic and dietary supplements used in a scientifically recommended dose did not demonstrate relevant side effects. The use of various evidence-based supplements can add up to further improvement in the performance of the elite soccer players.
