al., 2012 ; Vincent & Velkoff, 2010 ). There is a need for a greater understanding of real-world programming in community settings for at-risk older adults. Most studies of exercise and/or nutrition programs for this population have been conducted either with highly-trained research personnel who met with
Using Contemporary Behavior Change Science to Design and Implement an Effective Nutritional Intervention Within Professional Rugby League
Nessan Costello, Jim McKenna, Louise Sutton, Kevin Deighton, and Ben Jones
Designing and implementing successful dietary intervention is integral to the role of sport nutrition professionals as they attempt to positively change the dietary behaviors of athletes. High-performance sport is a time-pressured environment where the necessity for immediate results can often

Some of the most popular strategies to attenuate EIMD are nutritional and pharmacological supplements, such as antioxidants (AOXs; McGinley, Shafat, & Donnelly, 2009 ), milk ( Cockburn, Robson-Ansley, Hayes, & Stevenson, 2012 ; Cockburn, Hayes, French, Stevenson

Nutritional Considerations for Bouldering
Edward J. Smith, Ryan Storey, and Mayur K. Ranchordas
Bouldering competitions are held up to International level and governed by the International Federation of Sport Climbing. Bouldering has been selected to feature at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, however, physiological qualities and nutritional requirements to optimize performance remain inadequately defined due to large gaps in the literature. The primary goals of training include optimizing the capacity of the anaerobic energy systems and developing sport-specific strength, with emphasis on the isometric function of the forearm flexors responsible for grip. Bouldering athletes typically possess a lean physique, similar to the characteristics of sport climbers with reported body fat values of 6–12%. Athletes strive for a low body weight to improve power to weight ratio and limit the load on the extremities. Specialized nutritional support is uncommon and poor nutritional practices such as chronic carbohydrate restriction are prevalent, compromising the health of the athletes. The high intensity nature of bouldering demands a focus on adequate carbohydrate availability. Protein intake and timing should be structured to maximize muscle protein synthesis and recovery, with the literature suggesting 0.25–0.3 g/kg in 3–4 hr intervals. Supplementing with creatine and b-alanine may provide some benefit by augmenting the capacity of the anaerobic systems. Boulderers are encouraged to seek advice from nutrition experts to enhance performance, particularly important when weight loss is the desired outcome. Further research is warranted across all nutritional aspects of bouldering which is summarized in this review.

nutritional intake on soccer performance has been well documented, particularly in relation to energy and carbohydrate (CHO) requirements, and plays a key role in optimizing fueling and recovery from training and matches ( Collins et al., 2021 ). Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is a major component of total

Nutritional Recommendations for Synchronized Swimming
Sherry Robertson, Dan Benardot, and Margo Mountjoy
The sport of synchronized swimming is unique, because it combines speed, power, and endurance with precise synchronized movements and high-risk acrobatic maneuvers. Athletes must train and compete while spending a great amount of time underwater, upside down, and without the luxury of easily available oxygen. This review assesses the scientific evidence with respect to the physiological demands, energy expenditure, and body composition in these athletes. The role of appropriate energy requirements and guidelines for carbohydrate, protein, fat, and micronutrients for elite synchronized swimmers are reviewed. Because of the aesthetic nature of the sport, which prioritizes leanness, the risks of energy and macronutrient deficiencies are of significant concern. Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport and disordered eating/eating disorders are also of concern for these female athletes. An approach to the healthy management of body composition in synchronized swimming is outlined. Synchronized swimmers should be encouraged to consume a well-balanced diet with sufficient energy to meet demands and to time the intake of carbohydrate, protein, and fat to optimize performance and body composition. Micronutrients of concern for this female athlete population include iron, calcium, and vitamin D. This article reviews the physiological demands of synchronized swimming and makes nutritional recommendations for recovery, training, and competition to help optimize athletic performance and to reduce risks for weight-related medical issues that are of particular concern for elite synchronized swimmers.
