Abstract

Nutritional supplements used to improve athlete performance have become more prominent than in the past due to the increasing diversity and accessibility of these supplements in line with the advancement of technology. Within this context in this study, it is aimed to explain with the help of current literature the nutritional supplements affect athlete performance in which ways and how healthy usage dosages should be. In the study, firstly nutrition supplements were introduced by giving general information about nutritional supplements, then the potential effects of each nutritional supplement on athlete performance were mentioned in accordance with their characteristics. Also the recommendations regarding the dosages of nutritional supplements existing in the literature for the last nine years are presented in the study. Nutritional supplements consumed correctly with the help of a nutritionist positively affect athlete performance through different mechanisms of action. For some of the athletes, the need for nutritional supplements can be met by re-planning their diets, while for others, the amount of dietary intake is not sufficient due to the sport they perform and they need to take nutritional supplements in addition to their diet under expert control. Therefore, it is of great importance that the intake of nutritional supplements should be planned individually in accordance with the recommendations of scientific studies in accordance with the athlete's physical condition, sports branch and diet in order to prevent health damage due to the side effects of nutritional supplements and to obtain the highest level of benefit.

SPORCU PERFORMANSINI ARTIRAN GÜNCEL BESİN TAKVİYELERİ

Abstract

Sporcu performansını artırmak amacıyla kullanılan besin takviyeleri teknolojinin ilerlemesiyle birlikte bu takviyelerin çeşitliliğinin ve erişilebilirliğinin artması nedeniyle geçmişe kıyasla daha fazla ön plana çıkmıştır. Bu bağlamda çalışmada besin takviyelerinin sporcu performansını hangi yönlerden etkilediği ve sağlıklı kullanım dozajlarının nasıl olması gerektiği güncel literatür yardımıyla açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırmada öncelikle besin takviyeleri hakkında genel bir bilgi verilerek besin takviyeleri tanıtılmış sonrasında her bir besin takviyesinin özelliklerine uygun olarak sporcu performansı üzerindeki olası etkilerinden bahsedilmiştir. Ayrıca besin takviyelerinin kullanım dozajları konusunda son dokuz yıldaki literatürde var olan öneriler çalışma içinde sunulmuştur. Bir beslenme uzmanı yardımı alınarak doğru bir şekilde tüketilen besin takviyeleri sporcu performansını farklı etki mekanizmaları yoluyla olumlu etkilemektedir. Sporcuların bir kısmı için diyetlerini yeniden planlayarak besin takviyelerine olan ihtiyaç karşılanabilirken, diğer bir kısmı için performans gösterdikleri spor dalı nedeniyle diyetle alınan miktar yeterli olmayıp uzman kontrolünde besin takviyelerini diyetlerine ek olarak almaları gerekmektedir. Bu nedenle sporcuların besin takviyelerinin yan etkilerinden dolayı sağlık açısından zarar görmemeleri ve en üst düzeyde fayda elde edebilmeleri için sporcunun fiziksel durumuna, spor dalına ve diyetine uygun olacak şekilde besin takviyesi alımının bilimsel çalışmalardaki öneriler doğrultusunda bireye özgü olarak planlanması büyük önem taşımaktadır.
