Effect of rapid weight loss on performance in combat sport male athletes: does adaptation to chronic weight cycling play a role?
Chronic weight cycling does not protect athletes from the negative impact of RWL on performance. The time to recover after weigh-in and the patterns of food and fluid ingestion during this period is likely to play the major role in restoring performance to baseline levels.
Seven hours of moderate hypoxia did not alter postprandial glucose responses or substrate oxidation in young healthy men.
