Abstract:
Even though scientific literature shows numerous heath complications and performance decrements associated with rapid weight loss (RWL), its prevalence remains exceedingly high across various combat sports. The aim of this study was to thoroughly search the existing literature to explore the influence of RWL on kidney function in Olympic and non-Olympic combat sport athletes. PubMed and Web of Science were searched for the relevant studies. Only original articles published from 2005 onwards, written in English, that included healthy males and females who prompted ~5% weight loss within a week or less, were included in the study. Retrieved studies showed that creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and urine specific gravity values were significantly increased after RWL in the majority of the included studies. This observation indicates that RWL caused dehydration and subsequent acute kidney damage despite various degrees of weight lost during the RWL phase, which can lead to adverse events in other body systems. Alternative methods of weight reduction that prioritize athletes\' health should be considered.
摘要:
尽管科学文献显示了许多与快速体重减轻(RWL)相关的健康并发症和表现下降,在各种格斗运动中,其患病率仍然极高。这项研究的目的是彻底搜索现有文献,以探讨RWL对奥运会和非奥运会格斗运动运动员肾功能的影响。搜索PubMed和WebofScience的相关研究。只有从2005年开始发表的原创文章,用英语写的,其中包括健康的男性和女性,他们在一周或更短的时间内促使体重减轻约5%,包括在研究中。检索的研究表明肌酐,在纳入的大部分研究中,RWL后血尿素氮和尿比重值均显著升高.该观察结果表明,尽管在RWL阶段体重减轻了不同程度,但RWL仍导致脱水和随后的急性肾损伤。这可能导致其他身体系统的不良事件。应该考虑优先考虑运动员健康的其他减肥方法。
