Abstract

The article presents a review of the literature on the using of nitric oxide donors for optimizing nutritional and metabolic support for athletes. It was determined that L-arginine is recommended for athletes training both aerobic and anaerobic endurance according to a one-time intake of 0.15 g × kg-1 60-90 minutes before training and course using for 8 weeks 10-12 g/day. L-Citrulline also increases performance with prolonged using from 2.4 to 6 g per day. In addition, the article emphasizes the position of international scientific communities on sports nutrition demonstrating the importance of nitric oxide food donors, for example, beet juice, for optimizing nutritional and metabolic support for athletes. As the result of performed analysis the nitric oxide donors with estrogenic effect have been identified and the schemes of their using have been actualised.
