Appropriate nutrition is an essential prerequisite for effective improvement of athletic performance, conditioning, recovery from fatigue after exercise, and avoidance of injury. Nutritional supplements containing carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals have been widely used in various sporting fields to provide a boost to the recommended daily allowance. In addition, several natural food components have been found to show physiological effects, and some of them are considered to be useful for promoting exercise performance or for prevention of injury. However, these foods should only be used when there is clear scientific evidence and with understanding of the physiological changes caused by exercise. This article describes various "functional foods" that have been reported to be effective for improving exercise performance or health promotion, along with the relevant physiological changes that occur during exercise.
适当的营养是有效提高运动成绩、体能、运动后疲劳恢复以及避免受伤的必要前提。含有碳水化合物、蛋白质、维生素和矿物质的营养补充剂已在各个体育领域广泛使用,以增加每日推荐摄入量。此外,已发现几种天然食物成分具有生理效应,其中一些被认为有助于提高运动成绩或预防受伤。然而,只有在有明确科学证据且了解运动引起的生理变化时,才应使用这些食物。本文介绍了据报道对提高运动成绩或促进健康有效的各种“功能性食品”,以及运动过程中发生的相关生理变化。
