Scientific approach to making weight

Post by polychenko »

Thought some of you may be interested in the following case report, published in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism,

http://journals.humankinetics.com/AcuCu ... /17827.pdf

"The intervention demonstrates that a more gradual approach to making weight in professional boxing can be successfully achieved via a combination of restricted energy intake and increased energy expenditure, providing there is willingness on the part of the athlete and coaches involved to adopt novel practices"

Cheers
