Brief Summary:
In order to enhance the effects of training and improve performance athletes often turn to nutritional supplements According to the American College of Sports Medicine ACSM adequate selection of nutrients and supplements adjusting intake according to the exercise performed is necessary for optimal performance in athletes The most recent consensus from the International Society for Sport Nutrition ISSN The American Dietetic Association ADA and ACSM on sport nutrition have been reviewed by Potgieter stating that a single guideline is not sufficient to elaborate an individualized and focused nutritional management of athletes Moreover apart from the abovementioned guidelines sport-specific nutritional strategies including quantity structure and timing of food or supplement intake should also be followed in order to maximize sports performance and recovery The importance of dietary supplementation is of particular interest in swimming where athletes usually undertake a training approach characterized by a high volume of training during aerobic development and high intensity training during the competition phase coupled with strength training
The size and market value of the sports supplement industry is continuing to grow with health safety and contamination concerns becoming more pressing Therefore it is important to identify dietary supplements that are safe and effective in supporting swimmers Rice germ could be a safe and effective dietary supplement for swimmers In the last few years scientific research is trying to use waste rice products in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical fields considering the potential value of nutrients they contain In particular rice germ has a high protein and essential amino acids such as lysine histidine and valine content a good lipid content with prevalence of mono- unsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids - in particular linoleic and linolenic essential fatty acids and oleic acid an high fiber presence regarding water-soluble vitamins rice germ has high content if thiamine B1 and pyridoxine B6 while vitamin E prevails for liposoluble vitamins About minerals are most present iron and magnesium All these nutrients play important roles in maintaining the health of athletes Currently despite these characteristics no study has evaluated the potential beneficial effect of RG supplementation on athletes Given this background the purpose of this investigation was to ascertain whether performance in swimmers could be improved by a 5-weeks of RG supplementation
