Abstract: | The field of sports nutrition is a dynamic one. Core competencies in exercise physiology, psychology, integrated metabolism
and biochemistry are the initial parameters for a successful career in sports nutrition. In addition to the academic fundamentals,
it is imperative that the sports nutritionist understand the sport in which our client participates. This sport specific understanding
should manifest itself in fuel utilization, mechanics of movement, as well as psychological processes that motivate the participant
to perform optimally. Sports nutrition as a field has grown substantially over the past 50 years, from glycogen loading to
today's scientifically validated ergogenic aids. The last ten years has seen the largest advancement of sports nutrition,
with the following areas driving much of the research: the effects of exercise on protein utilization, meal timing to maximize
the anabolic response, the potential for ribose to benefit those engaged in high-energy repetitive sports, and creatine and
its uses within athletics and medicine. The future of sports nutrition will dictate that we 1) collectively strive for a higher
standard of care and education for counseling athletes and 2) integrate different disciplines. We are in an era of unprecedented
growth and the new knowledge is constantly evolving. The International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) will contribute
to this exciting field in many ways, and we ask for your contribution by sharing your passion, stories, research, and life
experiences with us. |
