In Episode 83 of The Prodigy Maker Show, the host dives into a Sports Science Review focused on the use of ergogenic aids and nutritional supplements in professional tennis players.
The episode reviews a 2017 research study titled “Use of Nutritional Supplements and Ergogenic Aids in Professional Tennis Players,” led by Alvaro Lopez Samanes and Mark Kovacs. The study involved a questionnaire sent to 71 professional tennis players, though the host notes there are some limitations to the study. The discussion highlights the relatively sparse research on nutrition specific to high-performance tennis players, with a focus on the use of substances like caffeine, creatine, and other supplements to enhance performance in the sport.
The host encourages listeners with a scientific interest in tennis to explore the study further via the provided DOI link.
