The 4Rs of sports nutrition were proposed in recent years as an evidence-based framework to optimize post-exercise recovery within the context of allostasis. Under this paradigm, it is important to consider that each R represents a factor with a tremendous influence on the allostatic response and improves individual components of the allostatic loa...
Soccer is an intermittent sport characterized by periods of high intensity interspersed with varying levels of recovery. During the game, soccer players are required to perform numerous determinant actions, such as accelerations, decelerations, pace and directional changes, jumps, and strikes, which demand high levels of strength, speed, endurance...
Energy metabolism is a central topic in physical activity and sports sciences. However, some concepts still require biological contextualization and more precise terminology in scientific literature. In this regard, the purpose of this review was to highlight certain concepts that deserve to be reconsidered and possibly excluded from the vocabulary...
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease, are significant global health concerns. Under the allostasis paradigm, the body’s physiological systems continually adjust to maintain stability in response to stressors, and chronic exposure to these can lead to allostatic overload, contributing to the development of NC...
