immunoreactivity of IGF1 in muscle 4 days after
exercise (Yan et al. 1993).
In summary, a high carbohydrate diet is rec-
ommended in order to replenish the muscle
glycogen depleted during intense training ses-
sions on a daily basis. With the exception of crea-
tine supplementation (reviewed in Chapter 27)
and bicarbonate supplementation (reviewed in
Chapter 29), there is little evidence to suggest
that sprinters need any additional nutrient sup-
plementation (including vitamins and minerals)
provided that they eat a normal balanced diet,
containing a wide range of foods, which covers
the individual’s energy requirements (Clarkson
1990; Van Der Beek 1990).
