... Calorie-restricted mice perform better in tasks that involve reaction, speed and have better endurance. The study corroborates on the earlier finding that the combination of caloric restriction and free exercise acts synergistically to increase muscle endurance and strength.

Free full text - http://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/...4_209/_article From the study: "In response to assigned tasks, the diet-restricted mice performed better in all activities: they climbed out of obstacles faster, freed themselves sooner from restraint by gummed tape, hung from a bar longer, and better resisted slipping down a slope." Most of the tests favor a lower body weight and/or smaller size, so I don't think you can say calorie restriction can increase muscle strength. Relative strength is increased, judging by the results. It would be hard to extrapolate to human success in sports. I remember two individuals posting to these groups who claimed ability to do multiple muscle-ups. Both are on some sort of dietary restriction. First one is this guy - http://tinyurl.com/2qw6n and the other one is me Which is a measure of relative strength. I meant it wasn't transferable to sporting success because in sports where relative strength is important (ie. weightlifting, wrestling, etc.) you'd be competing against other athletes who also restrict calories. -- Keith |

Fine, but do you really think any researcher is willing to pay me for the duration of a calorie restriction study? Matthew |

I gotta agree. Although I prefer running on fuel instead of an empty
stomach, and I'm more comfortable, running on empty has produced my best times. I figured I was just running faster to get home to the food... |

That's the last thing I would think of and is a severe restriction on the common meaning of extrapolation: the reason we can't extrapolate is that in a real situation calorie restricted athletes wouldn't directly compete with unrestricted. The broader meaning warrants vigilance still we're more mice than we're not. And our best-laid plans, gang aft agley, lea'e us nought but grief an' pain. -- JMW http://www.rustyiron.net |

The broader meaning warrants vigilance still we're more mice than we're not. I'd have to disagree. In the real world all weight class athletes and athletes who require high levels of relative strength for sporting success (ie. gymnastics) are calorie restricted to some degree. Obviously heavier weight classes less than lighter, but I, for example, have to restrict calories to maintain weight at 100 kgs for powerlifting and more so at 94 for olympic lifting. All freestyle wrestlers I know are calories restricted. Gymnasts are certainly calorie restricted. The problem is extrapolating what the mice demonstrated to 'sports'. Simple tasks which require a minimum of motor skills hardly compare to sport. I realize I worded my response poorly and didn't indicate this. I wrote my response in the midst of studying for two finals which I wrote today. I was engaging more in free thought than clarity here. -- Keith |
