Resumen
DUARTE, Vivian Ximena y GIMENEZ-SANCHEZ, Jaume. Supplementation strategies for gastrointestinal distress in endurance athletes. Rev Esp Nutr Hum Diet [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.3, pp.167-174. ISSN 2174-5145. https://dx.doi.org/10.14306/renhyd.19.3.134.
The prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms in the endurance athlete is about 25% to 70%. Even though it is recognized that the etiology of exercise-induced gastrointestinal distress is multifactorial, blood flow redistribution during physical activity and therefore gastrointestinal ischemia is often acknowledged as the main pathophysiology mechanism for the onset of symptoms. This review will provide an overview to the recent research on gastrointestinal function during strenuous exercise. In addition, we consider different nutritional interventions that could be evaluated for preventive or treatment interventions founding that ever though there is some research in the area, the scientific evidence does not support its use in athlete population.
