“…Regarding the classification of the supplementation protocols assessed in this systematic review, acute supplementation was considered to be the one in which a unique dose of BA was used between 0 min and 24 h prior to physical exercise, while chronic supplementation was considered those protocols that used repeated dosages of BA for more than one day and up to 10 weeks [31].…”

Beta-alanine supplementation (BA) has a positive impact on physical performance. However, evidence showing a benefit of this amino acid in aerobic–anaerobic transition zones is scarce and the results controversial. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to analyze the effects of BA supplementation on physical performance in aerobic–anaerobic transition zones. At the same time, the effect of different dosages and durations of BA supplementation were identified. The search was designed in accordance with the PRISMA® guidelines for systematic reviews and meta-analyses and performed in Web of Science (WOS), Scopus, SPORTDiscus, PubMed, and MEDLINE between 2010 and 2020. The methodological quality and risk of bias were evaluated with the Cochrane Collaboration tool. The main variables were the Time Trial Test (TTT) and Time to Exhaustion (TTE) tests, the latter separated into the Limited Time Test (LTT) and Limited Distance Test (LDT). The analysis was carried out with a pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) through Hedges’ g test (95% CI). Nineteen studies were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis, revealing a small effect for time in the TTT (SMD, −0.36; 95% CI, −0.87–0.16; I2 = 59%; p = 0.010), a small effect for LTT (SMD, 0.25; 95% CI, −0.01–0.51; I2 = 0%; p = 0.53), and a large effect for LDT (SMD, 4.27; 95% CI, −0.25–8.79; I2 = 94%; p = 0.00001). BA supplementation showed small effects on physical performance in aerobic–anaerobic transition zones. Evidence on acute supplementation is scarce (one study); therefore, exploration of acute supplementation with different dosages and formats on physical performance in aerobic–anaerobic transition zones is needed.

Introducción: El registro de malabaristas más antiguo data del año 2.040 antes de Cristo y fue encontrado en la tumba del líder egipcio Ben Hassani, asimismo, durante la era moderna, las artes circenses se han convertido en una opción metodológica para las clases de Educación Física. Sin embargo, no se tiene la certeza del uso de esta herramienta metodológica en los sistemas educacionales. Objetivo: Revisar y analizar el uso de las artes circenses como herramienta metodológica en las clases de Educación Física en los últimos 10 años. Métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática en Web of Sciense (WoS), Scopus y Scielo. La búsqueda se realizó entre el año 2010 y 2020. Se incluyeron todos los artículos que utilizaron las artes circenses como herramienta metodológica en las clases de Educación Física. Resultado: Cinco artículos fueron incluidos en la revisión sistemática. Conclusión: Al finalizar la revisión sistemática, se pudo apreciar que las artes circenses son una innovación y una herramienta metodológica que se enfoca más en el esfuerzo y logros personales. Estas actividades circenses progresivamente están siendo utilizadas en las clases de Educación Física, pero a pesar de los beneficios reportados faltan profesores con conocimiento de las artes circenses en los establecimientos educacionales.

“…Citrulline exerts also an antioxidant action, favours protein synthesis, has an anti-inflammatory effect and promotes aerobic metabolism. After the administration of citrulline, an increase in oxygenation at muscle level (through the production of NO) has been observed [ 31 , 32 , 33 ].…”

L-Citrulline Supplementation and Exercise in the Management of Sarcopenia

et al. 2021

Sarcopenia is a process associated to aging. Persistent inflammation and oxidative stress in muscle favour muscle wasting and decreased ability to perform physical activity. Controlled exercise can optimize blood flux and moderate the production of reactive oxygen species. Therefore, supplements that can work as a vasodilators and control oxidative stress, might be beneficial for active elders. In this context, we have tested citrulline supplementation in a group of 44 participants aged from 60–73 years that followed a physical activity program adapted to their age and capacities. Volunteers were divided in two groups: placebo (n = 22) and citrullline supplemented (n = 22). Different physical tests and blood extractions were performed at the beginning and at the end of intervention (six weeks). Strength and endurance showed a tendency to increase in the citrulline supplemented group, with no significant differences respect to placebo. However, walking speed in the citrulline supplemented group improved significantly compared to placebo. Markers of muscle damage as well as circulating levels of testosterone, cortisol and vitamin D showed no significant changes, but a tendency to improve at the end of intervention in the supplemented group compared to placebo. Additional studies are necessary to confirm the effect of citrulline supplementation in sarcopenia delay.
