“…All 61 athletes consumed nutritional supplements, such as protein-amino acid supplements (68.6%), multivitamins (64%), minerals (44.3%), sport bars (42.6%) and fish oils (39.3%), χ 2 (3) = 12.7, p < 0.001. The prevalence of supplement consumption among professional athletes in the current study is similar compared to previous reports [ 2 , 9 , 10 ]. The qualified personnel (nutritionist/dietician/physician/pharmacy) were the most common source of information regarding nutritional supplements (88.5%) among athletes, χ 2 (4) = 52.61, p < 0.001.…”

Background: The dietary supplements market is growing, and their use is increasing among professional athletes. Recently, several new protein supplements have been placed in the marketplace, including energy bars enriched with insect flour. Edible insects, which are rich in protein content, have been promoted as the food of the future and athletes could be a reference sample for their continued emphasis on higher protein demand. The present study investigated the potential motivations to accept an energy protein bar with cricket flour, among a group of selected Italian professional athletes. A second aim was also to measure how an information treatment about the benefits of edible insects would have impact on acceptance. Methods: 61 Italian professional athletes (27 females) completed a structured questionnaire regarding supplements and eating habits, food neophobia, nutrition knowledge, willingness to taste edible insects and the associated factors. A question about sports endorsement was also posed at the end of the survey. Results: all subjects consumed supplements, generally recommended by medical personnel, even though their general knowledge of nutrition was poor (47.8%). Our main results shown that on a seven-point Likert scale, the protein content (5.74 ± 1.01) and the curiosity about texture (5.24 ± 0.98) were the main drivers to taste the cricket energy bar; whereas the feeling of disgust (5.58 ± 1.08) justified the rejection of tasting insects. In addition, the level of food neophobia increases with age (p < 0.05) and reduces willingness to endorse the cricket bar (p < 0.05). Male athletes (4.47 ± 1.69) were more likely to endorse the product than females (3.3 ± 1.49). An increase in willingness to taste was observed after the information treatment (z = 4.16, p < 0.001). Even though the population under investigation is unique, it is important to mention that this study involves a relatively small and convenience sample, and therefore generalizability of the results should be done with caution.

“…Many athletes use dietary supplements in an effort to maximize performance. It is widely accepted that ingestion of dietary supplements that may nutritionally affect intracellular and extracellular buffering capacity are an evidence-based strategy for improving sports performance (Maughan, 2014).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ingesting sodium bicarbonate (SB) and sodium citrate (SC) on 400 m high-intensity swimming performance and blood responses. Six nationally ranked male swimmers (20.7 ± 2.1 yrs; 184 ± 6 cm; 79.9 ± 3.9 kg; 10.6 ± 1% body fat) participated in a double blinded, placebo controlled crossover trial. Ninety minutes after consuming SB (0.3 g·kg-1), SC (0.3 g·kg-1) or a placebo (PL) participants completed a single 400-m freestyle maximal test on three consecutive days. The order of the supplementation was randomized. Capillary blood samples were collected on 4 occasions: at rest (baseline), 60 min post-ingestion, immediately post-trial and 15 min post-trial. Blood pH, HCO3- concentration and base excess (BE) were determined. Blood pH, HCO3-, BE were significantly elevated from before loading to the pre-test (60 min post-ingestion) (p < 0.05) after SB ingestion, but not after SC ingestion (p > 0.05). Performance times were improved by 0.6% (p > 0.05) after supplementation of SB over PL in 5 out of 6 participants (responders). In contrast, ingestion of SC decreased performance by 0.2% (p > 0.05). No side effects were observed in either trial. Delayed blood response was observed after SC ingestion compared to SB and this provided no or modest ergogenic effect, respectively, for single bout high-intensity swimming exercise. Monitoring the magnitude of the time-to-peak level rise in alkalosis may be recommended in order to individualize the loading time accordingly before commencement of exercise.

Presença de Substâncias consideradas doping em suplementos alimentares Presence of substances considered doping in food supplements Resumo O uso de substâncias que aumentam rendimento é tão antigo quanto as práticas esportivas. Entretanto más escolhas alimentares não podem ser revertidas pela ingestão de suplementos alimentares, que está associada à prática esportiva. Entende-se como doping a verificação de violações das normas do Código Mundial Antidoping proposto pela Agência Mundial Antidopagem (WADA), que demonstrou preocupação quanto ao uso desses produtos, visto que sua fabricação não é regulamentada em diversos países, podendo conter substâncias não declaradas nos rótulos e até mesmo consideradas doping. Este estudo trata-se de uma revisão de literatura para melhor compreender a presença de substâncias dopantes em suplementos alimentares e as medidas para evitá-las. Para localizar as referências bibliográficas utilizadas, foram realizadas pesquisas na base de dados PUBMED/MEDLINE empregando as seguintes palavras-chave: "doping in supplements", "doping", "doping in sports", "supplements", "anti-doping". Múltiplos suplementos demonstram eficácia e segurança em seu uso; por outro lado, muitos não proporcionam as mesmas propriedades e, além de ineficazes, podem conter substâncias consideradas doping pela WADA. Alguns produtos podem conter doses excessivas dessas substâncias e ocorrências de óbito pelo uso de produtos contendo-as já foram evidenciadas. Diferentes estudos demonstram a presença de substâncias dopantes em suplementos, podendo chegar a 58 % das amostras com contaminação. O uso desses produtos deve ser feito com cautela em razão da possibilidade de lesão à saúde e ocorrência de doping. Suplementos alimentares podem conter substâncias consideradas doping pela WADA e devem ser prescritos exclusivamente por nutricionistas e/ou médicos com conhecimento adequado para direcionar, quando necessário, o atleta ao uso. O nível de evidência para eficácia e segurança deve ser considerado e deve-se optar por marcas autênticas quanto aos ingredientes do produto. As legislações que regulamentam a produção e importação desses deve ser mais rigorosa a fim de que casos relacionados ao doping por contaminação deixem de acontecer.
