IOC Consensus Statement on Sports Nutrition
What a difference 7 years make. On October 2010, a group of sports nutrition experts met at the International Olympic Committee’s headquarters on Lake Geneva in Lausanne with a special task. Twice in earlier years (1991 and 2003), a similar project to develop a consensus statement on Nutrition for athletes had been undertaken. With the continued evolution of science, it was time to produce an update to this official position statement (or an all expense paid trip to Lausanne!) This meeting had two interesting aspects:
There certainly was a change of stance between the two years (2010 vs 2003) on supplements, with only the latest study actually recommending supplements. But in both cases, the take home message is clear: The use of supplements does not compensate for poor food choices and an inadequate diet. For those who are interested, here are the original short summaries:
IAAF Consensus Statement on Sports Nutrition 2007
The IOC study was very broad in terms of sports. The IAAF (Athletics and Track & Field) was held on April 2007. The reviews were some of the Speedendurance.com’s early articles. Below are the event specific topics. Both original manuscript in PDF as well as the link to the old reviews on Speedendurance are provided.
If you are interested in the original manuscripts as a single download, here they are in a zipped file (save the zipped file to your hard drive; when unzipped, these documents are PDF files):

Plyometrics, Ground Contact Time, and Sprinting (Part 1) 2011-01-06 09:30:00-05 Before I start discussing Plyometrics and Sprinting, I need to quickly review Ground Contact Times Ralph Mann discussed this in detail at the 2007 USATF NPEP.

Decathletes like [...] read more... Was Arthur Lydiard Right All Along? 2011-01-13 08:00:00-05 If you had a chance to listen to the 2 hour speech from Arthur Lydiard, you might think his success of producing Olympic medalists was having the right people at the right time. Or it was from his high mileage base training and overall approach to training.
