“…In their guidelines for daily CHO intake for soccer players, Burke and coworkers differentiate between “mobile” and “less mobile” players based on the nutritional demands associated with their playing position [34]. However, there is little information available about the food and nutrient intake of soccer players relative to their field position (Table 4) [43,101,102,103]. Moreover, some of these articles do not provide information for the entire team, and thus are not included in Table 1.…”

Despite the impact and popularity of soccer, and the growing field of soccer-related scientific research, little attention has been devoted to the nutritional intake and eating habits of soccer players. Moreover, the few studies that have addressed this issue suggest that the nutritional intake of soccer players is inadequate, underscoring the need for better adherence to nutritional recommendations and the development and implementation of nutrition education programs. The objective of these programs would be to promote healthy eating habits for male and female soccer players of all ages to optimize performance and provide health benefits that last beyond the end of a player’s career. To date, no well-designed nutrition education program has been implemented for soccer players. The design and implementation of such an intervention requires a priori knowledge of nutritional intake and other correlates of food selection, such as food preferences and the influence of field position on nutrient intake, as well as detailed analysis of nutritional intake on match days, on which little data is available. Our aim is to provide an up-to-date overview of the nutritional intake, eating habits, and correlates of eating practice of soccer players.

“…The beneficial effects are related to the prevention and or amelioration of cardiovascular risk factors such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and endothelial dysfunction ( Ficker et al, 2010 ; Cornelissen and Smart, 2013 ; Umpierre et al, 2013 ; Guizoni et al, 2016 ). Exercise reduces plasma triglycerides (TG), small dense low-density lipoprotein (LDL), increases high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc), and apolipoprotein A-I ( Halverstadt et al, 2007 ; Imamura et al, 2013 ; Sondegaard et al, 2014 ). In addition, it improves reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), a system that prevents atherogenesis by clearing the excess cholesterol from the arterial wall allowing its secretion into bile and feces excretion ( Nijstad et al, 2011 ; Rocco et al, 2011 ; Pinto et al, 2015 ).…”

Exercise Training Favorably Modulates Gene and Protein Expression That Regulate Arterial Cholesterol Content in CETP Transgenic Mice

et al. 2018

Aerobic exercise training (AET) improves the reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) in cholesteryl ester transfer protein-transgenic (CETP-tg) mice. We aimed at investigating the role of AET in the expression of genes and proteins involved in lipid flux in the aorta and macrophages of CETP-tg mice. Three-month-old male mice were randomly divided into trained (T; treadmill 15 m/min; 30 min/day) and sedentary (S) groups. After 6 weeks, peritoneal macrophages and the aortic arch were obtained immediately (0 h) or 48 h after the last exercise session. mRNA was determined by RT-qPCR, protein levels by immunoblot and 14C-cholesterol efflux determined in macrophages. AET did not change body weight, plasma cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose and CETP activity. In macrophages, at time 0 h, a higher expression of genes that encode PPAR gamma, ABCA-1 and a lower expression of MCP-1 and IL-10, was observed in T as compared to S. After 48 h, lower expressions of MCP-1 and PPAR gamma genes were observed in T mice. Increase in ABCA-1, SR-BI and IL-6 and decrease of LOX-1, MCP-1, TNF and IL-10 gene expression was observed in the aorta of T compared to S mice (0 h) and LOX-1 and MCP-1 remained diminished after 48 h. The protein level of MCP-1 and SR-BI in the aortic arch was unchanged in T animals after 48 h as compared to S, but LOX-1 was reduced confirming data of gene expression. The apo A-I and the HDL2 mediated-cholesterol efflux (8 and 24 h) were not different between T and S animals. In the presence of CETP, AET positively influences gene expression in the arterial wall and macrophages of CETP-tg mice contributing to the RCT and prevention of atherosclerosis. These changes were perceptible immediately after the exercise session and were influenced by the presence of CETP although independent of changes in its activity. Reductions in gene and protein expression of LOX-1 were parallel and reflect the ability of exercise training in reducing the uptake of modified LDL by the arterial wall macrophages.

“…Both low and high intensity running and cycling exercises have been shown to produce beneficial adjustments to lipid profiles [10][11][12]. Furthermore, team sport training also presented improvements in concentration of TC, TAG, LDL-c, and HDL-c [13][14][15]. Some studies have already observed that soccer players under regular training present higher levels of HDL-c [4,16], and lower levels of LDL-c and TC [17] than match-related sedentary subjects.…”

Metabolic profile is not associated with body composition parameters in recreational female futsal players

et al. 2016

Objective To investigate the association between body composition parameters and the metabolic profile of recreational female futsal players. Methods 11 recreational female futsal players (21.2 ± 1.4 years, 163.2 ± 4.0 cm and 61.3 ± 17.6 kg) participated in this study. The assessment of body composition was performed using Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry, and the following body composition variables were evaluated: total body mass (TBM); body mass index (BMI); total body fat; relative total body fat; upper body fat (UBF); relative upper body fat (RUBF); lean mass (LM); lower limb muscle mass (LLMM). In addition, an evaluation of the metabolic profile was conducted: triacylgrycerol (TAG), total cholesterol (TC), lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and plasma concentrations of glucose (Glu). For the statistical analysis, descriptive analysis and the Pearson test were used to verify association between metabolic profile and body composition. The significance level was 5 %. Results: No significant association was found between TAG, HDL-c, and TC/HDL-c to body composition variables, while LDL-c had a tendency to associate with TBM (r = 0.54; p = 0.08) as well as Glu to BMI (r =-0.56; p = 0.07), and TBM (r =-0.59; p = 0.05). Significant association was found between Glu and LM (r =-0.73; p \ 0.01) and TC with LLMM (r = 0.59; p = 0.055). Conclusion No significant association was found between the metabolic profile and body fat indices, which may be explained by the relatively low levels of TAG, TC, and LDL-c.
