This study evaluated whether hydration strategy modulates thermal strain, inflammation, and performance during and after exercise in a hot environment, comparing three different fluid solutions: water, sodium-potassium drink, and coconut water. Twelve participants (seven males) completed a randomized, triple-blind crossover trial. Measures included handgrip strength, countermovement jump, tympanic temperature, thermal sensation, discomfort, body mass, body water percentage, heart rate, and total leukocyte count. Participants were randomly assigned 300 ml of one of three solutions before cycling for 60 min at 1.5 W/kg in ∼33 °C conditions. Additional 300-ml doses were consumed postexercise at 0, 30, and 60 min; measures were taken at each time point before solution consumption and at 90-min postexercise. Following exercise in the heat, a significant main effect for time was observed for all outcomes: thermal responses, heart rate, body mass and body water (p < .001); fatigue (p < .001); and leukocyte count (p = .016), indicating a strong physiological response to heat stress. However, no significant differences were observed between hydration strategies (p ≥ .152) for all measures. In conclusion, exercise in the heat elicited significant thermal strain, fatigue, and inflammation, independent of hydration strategy. Electrolyte composition did not significantly alter responses when fluid intake was controlled, highlighting the need for further research.","PeriodicalId":14334,"journal":{"name":"International journal of sport nutrition and exercise metabolism","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148759246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study compared the effects of 2 days of divergent CHO intake on physical and cognitive performance during a simulated soccer match protocol. Using a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design, 15 female field-based intermittent team sport players consumed either a high CHO diet (6 g·kg body mass [BM]-1·day-1; HIGH) or an isocaloric moderate CHO diet (3 g·kg BM-1·day-1; MOD) for 2 days after completing a standardized (∼35 min) intermittent exercise protocol. For the main experimental trials, participants completed the Loughborough Intermittent Shuttle Test as 5 × 15-min blocks of intermittent running followed by a shuttle run time to exhaustion, with cognitive performance assessed before and after the test. There was no significant difference (6.9 [-71.1, 84.8] s) in time to exhaustion between conditions (HIGH, 295 ± 137 s; MOD, 288 ± 133 s; p = .852; g = 0.05).

Rating of perceived exertion was lower during HIGH compared with MOD after Block 1 (p < .001; g = 0.78) and Block 2 (p = .018; g = 0.49). Reaction time in the Task Switching test was improved from pre- to postexercise in HIGH (p = .017; g = 0.67) but not MOD (p = .913; g = 0.05).

Playing requires endurance, speed, strength, and balance in conjunction with technical, tactical, and cognitive abilities. Nutrition can play a valuable role in optimizing physical and mental performance and in maintaining overall health of ice hockey players. The aim of this review is to provide evidence-based nutrition guidelines for elite male ice hockey players. The energy demands during training sessions and games in ice hockey are not well investigated, but elite players typically cover 2.3-6.7 km in their 15-25 min of on-ice time during games. Carbohydrate (primarily muscle glycogen) is the major fuel during training and match play, and match performance has been shown to be associated with the pregame muscle glycogen content. Sweat losses are typically high (2.02 ± 0.74 L/hr) due to the high intensity and the use of protective equipment. Sufficient carbohydrate and fluid intake are therefore the most important nutritional considerations during training sessions, games, and recovery to maintain performance. Protein intake is important after training sessions and games to support muscle repair, growth, and overall recovery. Nutrition plans should be personalized and periodized to meet the demands of training sessions and games, and individual objectives. Players should prioritize food before supplements to meet nutrient requirements. While studies on supplementation are scarce, supplements that might be beneficial to some ice hockey players include Vitamin D, iron, caffeine, and creatine.","PeriodicalId":14334,"journal":{"name":"International journal of sport nutrition and exercise metabolism","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148338568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although CL is commonly associated with improved time to fatigue and modest performance gains in exercise lasting ∼90-240 min, few studies have employed double-blind, placebo-controlled (DBPC) designs. Given that belief and expectation can independently influence performance, it remains unclear whether reported benefits reflect CL or placebo effects. We systematically evaluated the use of blinding and in-exercise carbohydrate provision in CL research. Of 14 identified studies, only two were DBPC trials. Notably, only four provided carbohydrates during exercise. Both DBPC studies included appropriate in-exercise carbohydrate intake and reported no evidence of performance benefit of CL. Of the remaining two studies that provided carbohydrates during exercise, CL showed a positive performance effect; however, the effect size was moderate and comparable to that reported for placebo nutritional interventions (Cohen's d ≈ 0.35). Comparisons across CL studies are heterogeneous in design, including differences in performance test type (time to exhaustion vs. time trial), which points to the need for more research in standardized conditions. The current evidence therefore calls for a re-evaluation of whether CL in the 24-48 hr before competition enhances performance once placebo effects are accounted for and in-race fueling is optimized. This commentary highlights the need for more DBPC studies and the potential role of placebo (such as belief) in observed performance outcomes. We propose future research directions to better isolate the independent contributions of CL and placebo effects in endurance performance.","PeriodicalId":14334,"journal":{"name":"International journal of sport nutrition and exercise metabolism","volume":" ","pages":"553-562"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148317111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a single-blind, parallel-design, 33 recreationally active adults (age: 23.9 ± 4.0 years, body mass index: 23.7 ± 4.0) were randomly assigned to one of three groups: (a) SPP, (b) whey protein, or (c) carbohydrate control.

Maximal voluntary contraction, countermovement jump height, muscle soreness, thigh circumference, creatine kinase, and lactate dehydrogenase were assessed at baseline and +1, +4, +24, +48, and +72 hr post EIMD. Significant time effects were observed for all variables. Countermovement jump height was greater in the SPP versus carbohydrate groups at +72 hr and across all time points when pooling the two protein groups, creating a higher protein versus normal protein group comparison. There were no significant group effects for all remaining outcomes. High-quality protein supplementation >1.0 g·kg body mass-1·day-1 appears to have only a modest effect on the rate of recovery following EIMD, with a potential role in alleviating muscle damage, particularly in the later stage of recovery. Furthermore, the SPP supplement was not inferior to a high-quality protein source (whey protein), indicating that it may represent a sustainable and effective alternative for muscle recovery.","PeriodicalId":14334,"journal":{"name":"International journal of sport nutrition and exercise metabolism","volume":" ","pages":"491-501"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148175916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were analyzed using a three-level meta-analytical model to account for the nesting of multiple performance outcomes within individual studies. Subgroup analyses assessed the influence of caffeine dose, training level, and menstrual cycle phase. Risk of bias was assessed using the RoB 2 tool; heterogeneity was assessed using the Q test and funnel plot analysis. Nineteen randomized crossover trials involving 235 females were included. The pooled analysis revealed a small and significant ergogenic effect of caffeine supplementation on cycling performance for females (standardized mean difference = 0.21; 95% confidence interval [0.11, 0.29]), with high certainty of evidence. Subgroup analysis showed a nonsignificant effect for caffeine dose (p = .79) and training level (p = .97), while caffeine significantly improved performance during the mid-luteal phase (standardized mean difference = 0.26; 95% confidence interval [0.06, 0.46]; p = .01) with no effect for other menstrual cycle phases (p > .11). Heterogeneity was nonsignificant, Q(36) = 7.99; p = 1.00, and overall risk of bias was rated as \"some concerns.\" The limited clinical trials and inadequate menstrual cycle assessments preclude definitive conclusions regarding the effect of the menstrual cycle phases. These findings support the supplementation of caffeine to optimize performance in cycling for women.","PeriodicalId":14334,"journal":{"name":"International journal of sport nutrition and exercise metabolism","volume":" ","pages":"574-587"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148054565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
