Who practices sports can be vegetarian?
Full text linkIn recent years, interest in "vegetarianism" has increased considerably, both among the common population and among sportsmen. Athletic performance and post-workout recovery can be improved through optimal nutrition: choosing the right foods and introducing them at the right time can make a difference in terms of sports results, for the same number of sessions and training hours. But those who practice sports can follow a vegetarian diet? The choice to become vegetarian is often based on the mere refusal to consume meat or animal products, a choice attributable to philosophical motivations of different nature. In this manuscript, we will try to determine, by commenting on the scientific data published in recent years, the effects, positive or negative, that could be a consequence from adopting a diet of this type, both in everyday life and in sports
INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES FOR KNOWLEDGE TRANSMISSION IN THE DAYS OF COVID 19
Full text linkThe aim of this paper is to investigate the contribution of technological innovation in the educational-training pro- cess, with a particular reference to the COVID-19 situation. It must be considered that, in this perspective, inno- vation has taken on a fundamental role in transferring knowledge and educational values. The starting point of the paper was the definition of technology and innovation, and then the focus was shifted to the digital aspects at school
Gluten-free diets in athletes
No full textGluten is the structural protein component of the grains wheat, rye and barley, and it is the basis for a variety of
food products consumed throughout the world. Gluten proteins, major determinants of the bread-making quality
of wheat, are related to several digestive disorders, and celiac disease is the most studied of these pathologies.
Health effects of gluten have received increasing attention both in medical research and popular media, and
remain highly controversial. People with diagnosed coeliac disease require a lifelong strictly gluten-free diet. In
addition to celiac disease patients, it has been hypothesized that a substantial proportion of the population may
be gluten intolerant (non-celiac gluten sensitivity), and could benefit from reducing gluten in their diet.
However, clinical evidence for the existence of such conditions and other purported adverse health effects of
gluten remain inconsistent. Nevertheless, there is growing popular perception that gluten-freefoods are healthier,
and in recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in demand and consumption of gluten-free foods in many
Western countries. Adherence to a gluten-free diet for non-celiac athletes has become increasingly popular. In
this narrative review, the effects of gluten-free diet are discussed, and its impact on health and sports
performance in athletes is examined. A gluten-free diet among many athletes does not result from evidencebased
practice, and in the majority of cases is not based on medical rationale and may be driven by perception
that gluten removal provides health benefits and an ergogenic edge in non-celiac athletes. Actually, athletes with
inadequate energy intake and/or who exclude certain foods or food groups may not meet sports nutrition
guidelines for key nutrients, and as a result, athletes could have at increased risk for musculoskeletal injuries,
iron-deficiency anemia, hormonal imbalances, and immune suppression.
