According to the results of a food intolerance test, an individual elimination diet was drawn up. Therefore, in the research, an experimental longitudinal study lasting three months was conducted to assess the impact of food intolerance on sports performance and the health of elite athletes. Some studies have linked food intolerance in elite athletes to excessive physical activity. While physical activity is good for people’s health, intense training, as in the case of elite athletes, harms the immune system and increases the permeability of the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, food intolerance is on the rise among athletes, but the use of unverified food intolerance tests calls into question an accurate assessment of the state of true intolerance in the population. Food allergy is a health problem affecting 3% to 10% of the worldwide population of adults and up to 8% of children approximately 2% to 20% of the world’s population has a food intolerance. Adverse food reactions can also occur due to toxins, manifestations of congenital metabolic disorders, and functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Other non-allergic food reactions are intolerant and do not affect the immune system. įood allergy is defined as an adverse immune-mediated reaction that occurs when exposed to a food agent and disappears when it is withdrawn. The adaptive immune response is provided by lymphocyte functions (acquired immunity) and plays an important role in the defense from infection and elimination of exogenous pathogens in vivo. These include (1) genetic studies that are likely to determine people’s predisposition to a particular type of food and the degree of risk of food-related diseases (2) studies on the diversity of the human microbiota, the characteristics of digestion, and the state of the intestinal barrier and (3) studies of individual responses of the immune system to food antigens that cause changes in food tolerance and reactivity of the adaptive immune response. Ĭurrently, new directions in dietetics are being formed, focusing on the creation of personalized diets. An effective intervention to restore the physical fitness of an athlete by monitoring the regimen and diet, timely admission, and the specified quality and quantity of food components is considered fundamental. Therefore, an effective recovery strategy between workouts or during competition can maximize adaptive responses to various mechanisms of fatigue, improving muscle function and increasing exercise tolerance. Nutrition is considered one of the foundations of athletic performance, and post-workout nutritional recommendations are fundamental to the effectiveness of recovery and adaptive processes.
