Book Description
Author's abstract: Carbohydrate supplementation has been associated with increased performance in aerobic and anaerobic activity. Honey, specifically, has shown to increase performance in aerobic exercise as well as provide other health benefits. The purpose of this study was to see if honey, a natural substance, has a positive effect on anaerobic performance, rates of perceived exertion, and gastrointestinal distress. Subjects consisted of 18 healthy, Division 1 collegiate male soccer players (19.39 ± 0.85 yr, 75.39 ± 7.97 kg). All had no allergies and were cleared for participation by a certified athletic trainer. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of three groups. Each group tested on a specific day of the week for three weeks. After consuming the same meal the night before, adhering to a 10 hour fast, and 10 hour refrain from exercise before testing, they reported to practice and blindly ingested one of three different supplements (9.5oz. of flavored water, 9.5oz. of PowerAde, and 1 Tablespoon of honey mixed with 3oz. of water). They were given a different supplement each week in a random order based on their group assignment. Immediately after ingestion, they were given 15 minutes to complete the team warm up and prepare to run a repeated anaerobic sprint test (RAST). Subjects then ran the RAST and times were recorded and analyzed looking at maximum, minimum, and mean power, and fatigue index. Immediately following the RAST, subjects answered questions about gastrointestinal distress, and rated their perceived exertion. Pre-test carbohydrate ingestion showed no significant effect on maximum, minimum, or mean power, fatigue index, or rate of perceived exertion (p>0.05) for any of the three supplements. Some subjects experienced gastrointestinal distress, but side effects were minimal under all supplements. This study found that the ingestion of honey before an anaerobic performance test does not improve performance. However, it also did not cause any detrimental side effects to decrease performance. Because carbohydrate supplementation has been shown to improve performance and neither of the supplements improved performance over the placebo, further research needs to be done.

Computational Intelligence in Sports

Pages : 283
Book Description
This book presents recent research on computational intelligence (CI) algorithms in the field of sport. In the modern age, information technologies have greatly reduced the need for human effort in the carrying out of many daily tasks. These technologies have radically influenced the lives of humans, and the information society in general. Unfortunately, these advances have brought with them certain negative effects, including the encouragement of sedentary lifestyles and the attendant health problems such as obesity that these engender. Other modern maladies, chiefly cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer, have also been on the increase. Today, sports are virtually the only activity that still connects modern humans to their original lifestyle, which was based on physical motion. This book tears familiarizing sports scientists with the foundations of computational intelligence, while at the same time presenting the problems that have arisen in the training domain to computer scientists. Lastly, the book proposes the use of an Artificial Sports Trainer designed to enhance the training of modern athletes who cannot afford the considerable expense of hiring a human personal trainer. This intelligent system can monitor performance and design and direct appropriate future training, thus promoting both healthy lifestyles and competitive success in athletes.
