Over the past decade we have witnessed a remarkable increase in the use of technology in sport. This technology is not only targeted.
at elite and professional athletes but also recreational athletes who are striving for personal improvements in both performance and.
health. Although all departments of sports science are now heavily technology driven, the increase in nutrition technology appears to.
be particularly popular. For example, it is increasingly common to witness people in supermarkets scanning bar codes with smart.
phones or inputting data in restaurants to check the macronutrient composition of the meal, often without really knowing what they are.
looking for. The assessment of energy intake and expenditure are perhaps two of the most difficult of all physiological measurements,.
especially in professional athletes. Consequently, despite energy intake and expenditure being key determinants of athletic.
performance, data from professional athletes is still somewhat lacking in the scientific literature. Whilst without question some.
emerging technology is helping to simplify the assessment of energy intake and expenditure, there are also examples where the.
technology is adding a layering of complexity to an already over complicated discipline. It is not uncommon to witness athletes.
seeking their diet and exercise plans from faceless technology rather than seeking professional science backed advice. Perhaps.
more importantly, in many cases the basic scientific questions regarding this technology have not been fully examined, such as how.
valid and reliable are the tools in question? This presentation will look at some of the emerging trends regarding the use of technology.
in sports nutrition and will examine if mobile technology has a place in the toolbox of the sports nutrition practitioner. Finally the.
presentation will hypothesise where the technology is going next and how as practitioners we can utilize this technology to improve.
our practice.

Title of the paper: Carbohydrate: Carbohydrate intake guidelines and low versus high debate.
Authors: Jeukendrup, A..
Institution: University of Birmingham.
Department: School of Sport and Exercise Sciences.
Country: United Kingdom.
It has been known for a long time that carbohydrate is the main fuel for athletes in the vast majority of events. There is much discussion about training with low carbohydrate and training with high carbohydrate availability. Carbohydrate availability is increased by consuming carbohydrate in the hours or days prior to the session, intake during exercise, and refueling during recovery between sessions. This is important for the competition setting or for high-intensity training where optimal performance is desired. Carbohydrate intake during exercise should be scaled according to the characteristics of the event. During sustained high-intensity sports lasting 1 h, small amounts of carbohydrate, including even mouth-rinsing, enhance performance via central nervous system effects. While 30-60 g/h is an appropriate target for sports of longer duration, events 2.5 h may benefit from higher intakes of up to 90 g/h. Products containing special blends of different carbohydrates may maximize absorption of carbohydrate at such high rates. In real life, athletes undertake training sessions with varying carbohydrate availability. Whether implementing additional train-low strategies to increase the training adaptation leads to enhanced performance in well-trained individuals is unclear. It is clear that both training low and raining high approaches seem to have some advantages and disadvantages. But how do you decide how to approach training? In this presentation the following topics will be addressed in particular: 1. Current carbohydrate intake guidelines 2. A brief summary of the evidence supporting these guidelines 3. A discussion of the train high versus train low debate 4. A recommendation on how to incorporate train high/train low into a training program.
