Article Synopsis
- - The article reviews the prevalence and methods of rapid weight loss (RWL) in combat sports like judo, highlighting its commonality among athletes and the significant reductions in body mass (around 5%).
- - It points out that while RWL can impair athletes' performance and psychological health, negative effects are lessened when a recovery time of more than 4 hours is allowed post-weight loss.
- - The article emphasizes the health risks associated with RWL practices and recommends that athletes avoid these methods to ensure better health and performance.
Introduction: Alcohol ingestion influences metabolism during a subsequent exercise session, as evidenced by increased blood lactate concentration during fixed-intensity exercise. Therefore, augmented blood concentrations of alcohol may interfere with the anaerobic metabolism during high-intensity, short-duration exercise bout, thereby leading to impaired athletic performance.
Objective: This study investigated whether the acute ingestion of alcohol as ethanol modulates performance parameters derived from the power-duration relationship in a 3-min all-out cycling test that allows for identifying the power output related to heavy and severe exercise intensities.
