Assessment of Hydration Status Among Sports Person by Using Urine Sample
https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-0716-4370-9_6
Date Published: April 01, 2025
Abstract: Hydration is essential for athletic performance and overall health, yet many athletes face challenges in achieving it. A cross-sectional study was conducted on the Ankaragücü youth soccer team in Turkey to assess hydration status. Twenty-six male athletes (15 ± 1.2 years) participated, with data collected over 3 days, including body weight, fluid volume changes, and urinalysis...
Estimation of Carbohydrate Loading by Using Glycogen Depletion Protocols
https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-0716-4370-9_4
Date Published: April 01, 2025
Abstract: Carbohydrate loading is a strategy used by endurance athletes to increase muscle glycogen stores, enhancing performance by delaying fatigue and sustaining higher exercise intensity. This study examines the effects of glycogen depletion and subsequent replenishment to assess how well carbohydrate loading increases muscle glycogen stores for endurance sports...
Iron Biofortification in Meat and Poultry Products: Agronomic Practices
https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-0716-4346-4_3
Date Published: December 28, 2024
Abstract: Iron deficiency is a global health problem, particularly affecting women of reproductive age and young children in developing regions. An estimated 1.62 billion people suffer from anemia, the main cause of which is iron deficiency. Despite various interventions, including supplementation and food fortification, challenges in access and compliance undermine their effectiveness...
Microbial Fermentation for B12 Enhancement in Plant-Based Foods
https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-0716-4346-4_8
Date Published: December 28, 2024
Abstract: Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is crucial for human nutrition due to pernicious anemia, a rare condition causing malabsorption. It is synthesized by microorganisms like bacteria and archaea using aerobic and anaerobic biosynthetic pathways. The biosynthesis of the corrin ring involves aerobic and anaerobic pathways. Aerobic pathways involve oxygen molecules and cobalt chelation steps...
