Effects of Nutritional Supplements on Judo-Related Performance: a Review Journal of Human Kinetics volume 77/2021, 81-96 DOI: 10.2478/hukin-2021-0013 81 Section II ‐ Exercise Physiology & Sports Medicine Effects of Nutritional Supplements on Judo‐Related Performance: A Review by Leonardo Simoncini1, Ángel Lago-Rodríguez2, Álvaro López-Samanes3, Alberto Pérez-López4, Raúl Domínguez5, 6, 7 The potential ergogenic effect of nutritional supplements depends on their dosage and the type of exercise executed. Aiming at reviewing the research literature regarding sport supplements utilized in judo in order to improve performance, a literature search was performed at the following databases: Dialnet, PubMed, Scielo, Scopus and SportDiscus. A total of 11 articles met the inclusion criteria and were selected. Evidence revised indicates that supplementation with caffeine, β-alanine, sodium bicarbonate, creatine, and β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate has a positive effect on judo-related performance. Moreover, there is evidence suggesting that combining some of these nutritional supplements may produce an additive effect. Key words: sport nutrition, ergogenic supplementation, combat sports performance. Introduction Body mass and body composition have Judo is an Olympic combat sport in which been associated with higher performance in judo athletes perform multiple high-intensity (Kim et al., 2011). Also, higher relative bone mass intermittent efforts aiming at either throwing their and a larger percentage of muscle mass are opponent to the ground or controlling him/her in associated with greater judo-specific performance groundwork through pin or submission test results (Casals et al., 2017). Thus, in order to (Franchini et al., 2014). Judo combats conclude ensure similar levels of agility, strength, and when an ippon (perfect throw) is achieved or power between opponents, judo athletes are when the combat time is fulfilled (4 min according grouped into seven weight categories (Artioli et to the International Judo Federation). Judo al., 2010a; Franchini et al., 2011). Judokas aware of combats have mean duration of ~3 min, during the advantage of competing against lighter, which efforts of ~30 s are interspersed with ~10 s smaller, and weaker opponents, implement of rest intervals; thus, having the activity-to-rest strategies to reduce their body mass before the ratio of 2:1 or 3:1 (Franchini et al., 2013). competition (Artioli et al., 2010a). Moreover, due to the specific organization of As in most combat sports, technique and judo’s tournaments, athletes need to perform physical fitness play a crucial role in judo several combats during the same day, with performance. Particularly, both the aerobic and recovery time among combats varying from few anaerobic systems are required during judo minutes to several hours (Artioli et al., 2010b). combats.

    SHORT COMMUNICATION Separation of Isomers L-Alanine and Sarcosine in Urine by Electrospray Ionization and Tandem Differential Mobility Analysis-Mass Spectrometry Pablo Martínez-Lozanoa and Juan Rusb a Institute for Biomedical Technologies-National Research Council, Milan, Italy b SEADM, Valladolid, Spain Sarcosine, an isomer of L-alanine, has been proposed as a prostate cancer progression biomarker [1]. Both compounds are detected in urine, where the measured sarcosine/alanine ratio has been found to be higher in prostate biopsy-positive group versus controls. We present here preliminary evidence showing that urine samples spiked with sarcosine/alanine can be partially resolved in 3 min via tandem differential mobility analysis-mass spectrometry (DMA-MS). Based on the calibration curves obtained for two mobility peaks, we finally estimate their concentration ratio in urine.

A great number of biochemical changes have been proposed to occur at metabolic levels between perturbed glucose, amino acid, and lipid metabolism to finally diagnoe diabetes mellitus. This window period, which varies from person to person, provides us with a unique opportunity for early detection, delaying, deferral and even prevention of diabetes. The early detection of hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia is based upon the detection and identification of biomarkers originating from perturbed glucose, amino acid, and lipid metabolism. The emerging “OMICS” technologies, such as metabolomics coupled with statistical and bioinformatics tools, proved to be quite useful to study changes in physiological and biochemical processes at the metabolic level prior to an eventual diagnosis of DM.

  • Beta Alanine
    PERFORMANCE ENHANCERS FACTS AND BOTTOM LINE BETA ALANINE What is it? B-alanine is a naturally occurring amino acid (a non-essential amino acid) not used by the body to make muscle tissue. Rather, research has shown that B-alanine works by increasing the muscle content of an important compound – carnosine. In fact, the production of carnosine is limited by the availability of B-alanine. Carnosine is highly concentrated in muscle tissue where its role is primarily to soak up hydrogen ions. Does it work? B-alanine is one of the few dietary supplements that actually have good scientific evidence that it can possibly enhance performance. How does it work? When you exercise intensely the body produces hydrogen ions. The longer you exercise the more hydrogen ions you produce and this reduces the pH level in your muscles. Muscles work best in a very specific pH range and when the pH drops below that level then muscular performance also starts to decrease. Anything that helps to prevent or delay that drop in pH will help delay muscle fatigue. This is where B-alanine has proven to be very helpful. Beta-alanine increases the levels of carnosine in your slow and fast twitch muscle fibers and carnosine is a buffer that basically soaks up hydrogen ions and so reduces the drop in pH. By keeping your hydrogen ion levels lower, B-alanine allows you to train harder and longer. The bottom line is that B-alanine works by increasing the hydrogen ion buffering abilities of your muscles. What benefits does it offer? B-alanine has been shown to increase muscle strength, increase muscle mass, increase anaerobic endurance, increase aerobic endurance and increase exercise capacity.
