Abstract

Nutritional analyses and recommendations for athletes pursuing action sports/extreme sports in the ultra-endurance range and for expeditions into hostile terrains are rare. A study of athletes doing a 24-hour cycling race showed an energy deficit of more than 5000 kcal in spite of an intake of almost 8000 kcal in 24 hours. A combination of sports products, electrolyte products, and normal foods has proved to be a practical solution for energy and nutrient intake. In contrast to organised competitions there are no resupply stations during expeditions. The case example of a desert crossing on foot of several weeks' duration was used to determine energy consumption in advance, under simulated conditions in the laboratory, and serves as a basis for nutrition planning. Analyses before and after expeditions show the differences in body composition and a strongly negative energy and nitrogen balance.
