Alterações metabólicas e de biomarcadores durante o treino e competição em atletas de alto rendimento: uma análise esportômica

Abstract

Physical exercise has been used as a model to investigate metabolic interactions providing essential information about controlling and signaling of systemic and cellular metabolism. This model can also help us to develop strategies and methods to improve the performances of elite athletes. The studies here presented have been developed from a sportomics viewpoint, a concept that proposes taking blood and urine samples direct in the field of play, mimicking the real challenges faced by elite athletes in training and competitions. Sportomics is similar to other ‘‘-omics’’ approaches combined with classic clinical laboratory analyses, allowing us to better understand the metabolic changes that are induced by exercise and sports. In this paper we will present studies about metabolic and biomarkers changes during training and competitions protocols of elite athletes, aiming on improving their performances and understanding systemic and cellular metabolism.
