- Carbohydrate beverages attenuate bone resorption markers in elite runners(2014) SOUSA, Maysa Vieira de; PEREIRA, Rosa Maria R.; FUKUI, Rosa; CAPARBO, Valeria Falco; SILVA, Maria Elizabeth Rossi daObjective. We evaluated the effects of carbohydrate (CHO) supplementation on markers of bone turnover in elite runners. Design. Twenty-four male runners were randomly assigned to two groups - a CHO and a control (CON) group - using a double-blind design. The participants were submitted to an overload training program (days 1-8), followed by a high-intensity intermittent running protocol (10 x 800 m) on day 9. They received a maltodextrin solution (CHO group) or a placebo solution as the CON equivalent, before, during, and after these protocols. Results. After 8 days of intensive training, baseline levels of osteocalcin (OC) decreased in both CHO and CON groups (before: 28.8 +/- 3.6 and 26.6 +/- 2.4 ng/ml, after: 24.8 +/- 3.0 and 21.9 +/- 1.6 ng/ml, respectively, p < 0.01). On day 9, at 80 min of the recovery period, carboxy-terminal of telopeptide type I collagen (CTX) serum concentration was suppressed in the CHO group (0.3 +/- 0.1 ng/ml) vs. 0.6 +/- 0.0 ng/ml for the CON group (p < 0.01). CHO supplementation was effective in decreasing CTX levels from baseline to recovery (0.5 +/- 0.1 ng/mL to 0.3 +/- 0.1 ng/mL, p < 0.001), while an increase from 0.4 +/- 0.0 ng/mL to 0.6 +/- 0.0 ng/mL (p < 0.001) was observed in the CON group. Conclusion. CHO beverage ingestion attenuated the exercise-induced increase in CTX concentration, suggesting that CHO supplementation is a potential strategy to prevent bone damage in athletes.
- Carbohydrate supplementation increases intramyocellular lipid stores in elite runners(2012) SOUSA, Maysa; SIMOES, Herbert Gustavo; CASTRO, Claudio Campi de; OTADUY, Maria Concepcion Garcia; NEGRAO, Carlos Eduardo; PEREIRA, Rosa Maria Rodrigues; MADSEN, Klaus; SILVA, Maria Elizabeth Rossi daThe objective was to determine the effects of carbohydrate (CHO) supplementation on exercise-induced hormone responses and post-training intramyocellular lipid stores (IMCL). Twenty-four elite male athletes (28.0 +/- 1.2 years) were randomized to receive CHO (maltodextrin solution) or zero energy placebo solution (control group). The high-intensity running protocol consisted of 10 x 800 m at 100% of the best 3000-m speed (Vm3 km) and 2 x 1000 m maximal bouts in the morning and a submaximal 10-km continuous easy running in the afternoon of day 9. IMCL concentrations were assessed by H-1-MRS before (-day 9) and after training (day 9) in soleus (SO) and tibialis anterior (TA) muscles. Blood hormones were also measured before, during, and post-exercise. The percent change (Delta%) in TA-IMCL was higher in the CHO group (47.9 +/- 24.5 IMCL/Cr) than in the control group (-1.7 +/- 13.1, respectively) (P=.04). Insulin concentrations were higher in the CHO group post-intermittent running compared to control (P=.02). Circulating levels of free fatty acids and GH were lower in the CHO group (P>.01). The decline in performance in the 2nd 1000-m bout was also attenuated in this group compared to control (P<.001 and P=.0035, respectively). The hormonal milieu (higher insulin and lower GH levels) in the CHO group, together with unchanged free fatty acid levels, probably contributed to the increased IMCL stores. This greater energy storage capacity may have improved post-exercise recovery and thus prevented performance deterioration.
