SYMPOSIUM - MACRONUTRIENT UTILIZATION DURING EXERCISE: IMPLICATIONS
FOR PERFORMANCE AND SUPPLEMENTATION
|
The
review articles constitute a mini-symposium entitled "Macronutrient
Utilization During Exercise: Implications for Performance and Supplementation"
that were recently presented at the 2004 annual conference of the International
Society of Sports Nutrition in Las Vegas, NV. Much controversy often surrounds
macronutrient intake, utilization, and subsequent metabolism regarding exercise
and athletic performance. Furthermore, the role of macronutrient supplementation
with the specificintent
of improving body composition and exercise performance by way of nutrient
timing is also an important issue. As such, the articles provide a comprehensive
overview of metabolic and performance-enhancing implications regarding
carbohydrate, fat, and protein.
