Abstract
High intensity sustained aerobic activities like marathon running, ultra-endurance cycling, triathlon, etc. may interfere with the functionality of systems like respiratory, hormonal causing debilities among the elite as well as the recreational sportspersons alike, due to the severe oxidative and inflammatory mechanisms that may be triggered by the high intensity sustained aerobic physical activities. Effective neutralization of these negative mechanisms may be achieved through proper scientific training programs and also through the proper sports nutrition programs. But, the development of science of sports nutrition has also brought certain challenges to the sportspersons in choosing the right kind of nutrients both for maintenance of the high intensity training programs and also to compete successfully in high intensity endurance activities. Efficacy, safety and complexity are three important elements which are highly essential ingredients of sports nutrition programs of both elite and recreational sportspersons.
