Assessment of a Novel Bioflavonoids and Phytonutrient Formulation in Enhancing Cellular Aerobic Glycolysis, Immunity, Sports Performance, and Mitigating Inflammation

Metabolic competence in conjunction with well-balanced nutritional support is extremely important for normal biochemical and physiological functions, as well as for enhanced athletic performance. Research-affirmed nutraceuticals enriched in structurally diverse phytonutrients including bioflavonoids may help to boost athletic, functional, and biophysiological competence. Occurrence of chronic degenerative disorders is associated with an increase in anaerobic events, namely, the inability to effectively use oxygen and water, and inability to use nutrients for cellular energy production and management, metabolic homeostasis, and waste removal. Earlier clinical studies in our laboratories using the WADA compliant bioflavonoid-enriched Prodosomed VMP35 Multinutrient Complex (“Prodovite®”) demonstrated that it boosted aerobic metabolic competence and provided protection against diverse chronic degenerative anaerobic disorders. We hypothesized that Prodosomed VMP35 may serve as a novel supplement to boost athletic performance. The objective of the study was to conduct selected focused pilot studies to demonstrate the efficacy of a WADA compliant Prodosomed VMP35 to improve athletic competence and performance in a variety of sports activities. The efficacy of VMP35 was assessed in different models of sports performance/athletic competence including power lifting, resistance training, cycling, and selected case studies. VMP35 supplementation restored aerobic metabolic events, minimized oxidative stress, and improved athletic performance, recovery, and immune competence. These pilot clinical studies demonstrate that iron-free VMP35 restores aerobic metabolism by restoring iron-dependent hemoglobin to red blood cells, bolstering neutrophils in the blood (immune support), and significantly improving performance output in a diverse range of athletic activities.

RATIONAL NUTRITION AS A PART OF RECOVERY MEASURES FOR INCREASED PHYSICAL LOADS

The article is devoted to the problem of organizing a balanced diet of student youth who are engaged in active sports. The authors of the article conducted a general analysis of problematic aspects of the organization of these types of nutrition of young athletes, considered current trends in demand for certain types of sports functional foods and recommendations of domestic and foreign experts to address relevant issues.The study of modern experience in the organization of diets of professional athletes allowed to determine the basic principles of building an adequate diet of modern athletes and formulate practical recommendations with certain sets of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of certain types of food that are most suitable for athletes engaged in various active sports. During the formulation of the relevant recommendations, the peculiarities of the course of physiological processes in the body of a person who experiences different types of sports load were taken into account. These loads impose additional requirements on the human body, the observance of which depends on the general state of health and well-being of athletes both during training and during the performance of daily activities related to human life. Based on the understanding of these factors, during the study a questionnaire survey of young athletes was conducted to determine: the general eating habits of modern youth; used diets both during training and during rest; the most popular foods and favorite dishes made from them.Statistical processing of the results of the survey showed a high degree of awareness of students about the importance of balanced diets and the most important food components, the consumption of which affects the likelihood of achieving sports results. It was found that most young people prefer specialized functional products of targeted action, in particular, a variety of protein shakes and gainers, as well as so-called "sports" chocolate bars with different recipes. They are based on carbohydrate- protein mixtures with a certain ratio of simple and complex carbohydrates, which are further enriched with certain types of amino acids, vitamins, as well as creatine, trace elements and unsaturated fatty acids. At the same time, the analysis of the results of the survey of young athletes and the relationship of these data with modern experience in the organization of diets of professional athletes revealed a number of issues that require additional research. Addressing these issues will contribute to more efficient consumption by athletes not only of specialized foods, but also of the simplest, most common components of the human diet. Their combined consumption together with specialized foods will help to achieve the most optimal state of the body with a variety of sports activities and, if necessary, will significantly reduce the degree of consumption by athletes of specialized sports products. That is why the authors analyzed modern sports carbohydrate-protein mixtures and identified the most optimal ratio of simple and complex carbohydrates in them, determined the rational ratio of amino acids, vitamins, creatine, trace elements and unsaturated fatty acids in appropriate mixtures designed to optimize the course of physiological processes before and after sports activities of the body. Based on the modern experience of organizing the diets of professional athletes, recommendations were formulated for the use of both specialized and conventional foods in the diet of young athletes and recommendations were given to adjust the overall diet of young people who lead an active lifestyle.

Since the reform and opening up, China’s economy has been developing rapidly and the material living standard has been improving continuously. People begin to pay more attention to the mental and physical health. Therefore, more and more people take part in a variety of sports activities to exercise their body and watch large-scale sports events to cultivate the sports spirit. These changes have boosted the development of China’s sports industry, which is reflected in the continuous expansion of the scale of the sports industry, the deepening of the degree of industrial segmentation and the continuous innovation of the development concept. This paper mainly studies the feasibility data analysis of traditional sports industrialization development and informatization development based on big data. In this paper, by using the research methods of literature, observation, field investigation and logical analysis, the industrialization development of traditional sports is deeply studied and systematically combed. From the perspective of informationization, this paper makes an in-depth analysis of the current situation, existing problems, the importance of industrialization, and the advantages of industrialization of traditional sports, and makes a detailed exploration and elaboration of the opportunities brought by informatization to traditional sports industry and the development strategies of the industrialization of traditional sports in the future.

A Follow-Up Study of Motor Skill Development and Its Determinants in Preschool Children from Middle-Income Family.

We tracked the motor skill development of young children aged 3–6 years and investigated the influence of middle-income home environment on the development of motor skill. 268 children were selected from kindergartens in Beijing. The Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD) tool was used to test the development of locomotor and object-control skills (LS and OS), and a survey of children's behaviour and home environment was conducted. During the follow-up, the LS and OS of children aged 3–6 years continued to grow, with an annual growth rate of 20% and 30%. Five LS indicators and two OS indicators were significantly higher in the 3–4-year group than in the 4–5 and 5–6-year groups (p < 0.01). The age-sex trend model showed that girls' locomotor skill developed at a significantly higher rate than that of boys (β = 6.3004 and 4.6782, p < 0.001). Three-year-old boys performed significantly better than girls on object-control motor skill (p < 0.05). Factors affecting the rate of children's motor skill development in middle-income families included the frequency of playing with friends (β = 0.133, p = 0.032) and the frequency of bicycling, skateboarding, dancing, running, and jumping (β = 0.041, p = 0.042). Family income, parents' education level, and family activity area did not significantly affect the growth rate of motor skills. For middle-income families, the improvement of material environment at home like more playing spaces and toys did not speed up the motor development, while more opportunities to play with friends and engage in a variety of sports activities could promote children's motor skill development.

Turning the Country into an “Immense and Clamorous Stadium”: Perón, the New Argentina, and the 1951 Pan-American Games

During the Peronist regime (1946–1955), the Argentine government encouraged and financed a wide variety of sports activities. This investment bore fruit internationally and Juan Perón tried to make political capital out of the achievements of Argentine individual athletes or national teams in international competitions. Such achievements were presented as a collective victory of Argentine society, transcending the divisions of social class, ethnic origins, place of residence, or political affiliation. Argentine participation in the London Olympics in 1948, the hosting of the world basketball championship in Buenos Aires in 1950, and above all the organization of the first Pan-American games in the Argentine in March 1951, all, served to promote patriotism and national unity at home and improve the country’s image in the international scene. This paper focuses on an analysis of a 250-page book published by the sports magazine Mundo Deportivo, sponsored by the Peronist government, on the eve of the games. Both the text and the images attest to its populist character, its quest for modernity, emphasis on social mobility, and an authoritarian way of imposing national unity. The initiative to hold such games in Argentina dated back to 1940 but it had to be postponed twice: first to 1948 because of the Second World War, and then to 1951 because of the London Olympic Games. Perón’s government wanted these games to serve as a proof of the regime’s success. To that end, the president urged the organizers to ‘spur no effort’, promising them any financial assistance they might need. A year and a half before the inaugural ceremony, held at the Racing stadium (officially named the President Perón Stadium), the organizational effort moved into high gear, and Perón supervized it personally. Argentina was indeed the big winner in this event, its athletes capturing a total of 153 medals.

Spondylolysis

Spondylolysis is a relatively common radiographic finding and, although frequently asymptomatic, can cause significant low back pain. Isthmic spondylolysis likely represents a fatigue fracture in the region of the pars interarticularis, relative to repetitive stress of this region with spinal motion and weight bearing. Symptomatic pars lesions are a clinical problem, particularly for adolescents, and show increased frequency of occurrence with a variety of sports activities. Epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, imaging, and treatment of this disorder are reviewed based on the available medical literature.

Chronic leg pain in athletes due to a recurrent compartment syndrome.

A series of 29 patients, all engaged in sports activity on a regular basis, suffering from recurrent compartmental syndrome, is reported. The syndrome is not restricted only to long distance runners but to athletes involved in a variety of sports activities (soccer, volleyball, cycle racing, gymnastics, judo, physical education, and long distance running). Although most patients presented activity-related leg pain, some patients mainly complained of ankle weakness and recurrent ankle distortions at fatigue. The wick catheter technique proved to be most useful to determine which compartments were involved. The severity of clinical symptoms correlated highly with the anomalies of the tissue pressure measurements. The predominance of deep posterior compartment and multiple compartment involvement are in contrast with most previous reports. Conservative treatment was unsuccessful in every patient, whereas surgical decompression of the involved compartments yielded favorable results in those cases where all the involved compartments were released.
