Performance foods, including macronutrients and ergogenic aids, are popular in sports. However, scientific evidence supports only a few, necessitating more research for broader recommendations.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Nutrition
  • Exercise Physiology
  • Nutritional Biochemistry

Context:

  • Performance foods are widely used in sports as ergogenic aids.
  • Ergogenic aids are substances believed to enhance exercise capacity or delay fatigue.
  • Many popular performance foods lack robust scientific evidence supporting their efficacy.

Purpose:

  • To review the scientific evidence for popular performance foods and ergogenic aids.
  • To assess the impact of macronutrients and nutritional components on exercise capacity.
  • To identify areas where further research is needed in sports nutrition.

Summary:

  • Only a limited number of performance-enhancing substances have strong scientific backing.
  • Most ergogenic aids lack a sound scientific basis for recommendation.
