Carbohydrate supplementation improves stroke performance in tennis

Abstract: The effect of carbohydrate supplementation on stroke quality during prolonged simulated tennis match-play was investigated. Well-trained tennis palyers reported to the test center three times. At each occasion they performed a pretest, consisting of the leuven Tennis Performance Test (LTPT) and a shuttle run (SHR), which they repeated (posttest) after a 2-h strenuous training session. Throughout the test session, they received in a double blind random order either a placebo drink (P), a carbohydrate solution (… Show more

“…However, very few researchers have investigated how fatiguing exercise may influence motor skill performance and cognitive functioning (Dawson et al, 1985;Rico-Sanz et al, 1996;Vergauwen et al, 1998;McGregor et al 1999). In this context, fatigue does not refer to the termination of a particular form of exercise, but rather that in the course of an activity, such as soccer or field hockey, distance run and exercise intensity will be reduced, but not terminated during a match.…”

“…Considerando a recomendação proposta por Burke et al (17) , a suplementação de CHO nesse período seria uma estraté-gia alternativa para atingir a elevada necessidade de CHO. Além disso, a partida de tênis possui períodos de descanso de forma estruturada que facilitariam o consumo desse nutriente (18,19) . Apesar do grande interesse relacionado com o desenvolvimento de estratégias ergogênicas, a investigação sobre o efeito da suplementação de CHO no tênis é limitada.…”

“…Em concordância aos achados de Burke et al (42) , Vergauwen et al (19) concluíram que o consumo de CHO melhorou a precisão e diminuiu a taxa de erro durante os estágios finais do jogo de tênis. Contudo, não é possível afirmar que a manutenção da glicemia foi responsável pelo aumento do desempenho, uma vez que essa variável não foi avaliada no referido estudo (19) . Embora, o consumo de CHO promova aumento da concentração de glicose durante a partida de tênis, o desempenho dos jogadores nem sempre é potencializado (41,50) .…”
