Case Report
Purpose The aim of this case report was to describe the sleep responses in a male combat sport athlete, who was engaging in both chronic (CWL) and acute (AWL) weight loss practices in order to reduce body mass for a national competition. Methods During the first seven weeks of training (Phases 1 and 2), the athlete adhered to a daily energy intake (EI) equating to their resting metabolic rate (1700 kcal·day −1 ) followed by a reduction in EI (915…
Athlete experiences of communication strategies in applied sports nutrition and future considerations for mobile app supportive solutions
Aim This study aimed to explore athletes' experiences and opinions of communication strategies in applied sports nutrition, as well as capture suggestions for future mobile app supportive solutions. Methods A qualitative approach was used for this research. Data was generated from semi-structured focus groups ( n = 9) with a purposive sample of 41 (male = 24, female = 17) full time professional athletes (mean age 24 ± 4.59) from five sports (foot…
Variability in energy expenditure is much greater in males than females
In mammals, trait variation is often reported to be greater among males than females. However, to date, mainly only morphological traits have been studied. Energy expenditure represents the metabolic costs of multiple physical, physiological, and behavioral traits. Energy expenditure could exhibit particularly high greater male variation through a cumulative effect if those traits mostly exhibit greater male variation, or a lack of greater male v…
The horseracing industry’s perception of nutritional and weight-making practices of professional jockeys
The present paper provides a qualitative study exploring perceptions of nutritional and weight-making practices of professional jockeys, as reported by key industry stakeholders. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 26 participants, including professional jockeys (n = 10), racecourse clerks (n = 7), jockey agents (n = 2), racehorse trainers (n = 3) and jockey coaches (n = 4). Via thematic analysis, data provided an insight into the indu…
