Abstract

Our knowledge on preparing the athlete for competition has increased dramatically over the years, especially in the field of sports nutrition. Certain athletes may wish to complement their diet with additional supplements to gain a competitive advantage over their competition. The purpose of this article is to review anaerobic metabolism and lactate production, and discuss certain supplements that can improve performance by limiting the detrimental effects of lactate accumulation. 

Author Biography

Kelly A Brooks, Texas A&M University Corpus Christi

Dr. Kelly Brooks is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at Texas A&M University Corpus Christi. Prior to this postion, she spent 4 years in Louisiana as an Assistant Professor, Biomechanics and Applied Physiology Laboratory Director, and Graduate Program Coordinator at Louisiana Tech University. Brooks received her Ph.D. from The University of Alabama in December 2005.
Dr. Brooks has published several peer-reviewed articles, and worked with numerous graduate students. Brooks and her graduate students have over 70 presentations since 2007, at professional meetings at the regional and national level. Her research interests include environmental physiology and hydration, relating biomechanical and physiological variables during atheltic performance, adrenal insufficiency and chronic fatigue, prevention of injury in athletes, and the impact of injury on future disease risk/limitations in former college and professional athletes. Her research on collection of "real-time" data led to an interest in validation of both biomechnical and physiological remote monitoring devices. Brooks has worked as an advisor for several companies in development of devices, apps, and the latest technology in sports medicine. Brooks frequently presents on environmental issues and hydration across the country. She is also on the editorial board of two journals, and is a member of the Midwest NSCA advisory board.
