Exercise, nutrition and Homocysteine
Article Abstract:
A review which examines the impact of physical activity and nutrition on levels of blood homocysteine, the method by which the homocysteine levels are modified by physical activity, the function of homocysteine in cardiovascular disease (CVD), proofs supporting homocysteine as an independent risk factor for CVD, the ways in which homocysteine raises CVD risks and the cut-off values for homocysteinemia is presented. The results show that duration, intensity and exercise mode seem to influence blood homocysteine levels differently depending on personal fitness levels.

Active and passive recovery and acid-base kinetics following multiple bouts of intense exercise to exhaustion
Article Abstract:
The effect of active versus passive recovery on acid-base kinetics during multiple bouts of intense exercise is investigated. Results show that although blood acid-base recovery was enhanced by an active recovery mode, performance times during the second and third exercise bouts remained similar, and suggest that training specificity may influence time to recovery during multiple bout exhaustive exercise independent of recovery mode, active or passive.

Effect of aspartate and asparagine supplementation on fatigue determinants in intense exercise
Article Abstract:
The effect of aspartate (ASP) and asparagine (ASG) supplementation on fatigue determinants in Wistar rats exercise to exhaustion by swimming, is evaluated. The result suggest that ASP+ASG supplementation may crease the contribution of oxidative metabolism in energy production and delay exercise performed above at AT.
