摘要：Mountain running is a non-Olympic sport consisting of uphill or up- and downhill races at moderate-to-high altitude. Special nutritional requirements are anticipated, but no nutritional data of mountain runners are available. In three studies, physique of elite and recreational athletes (), maximum oxygen uptake (), and prerace and race day dietary intake () were measured (mean ± SD). Mean oxygen uptake was mL/kg/min. Energy and carbohydrate intake before a race ( km, m HD) was kcal/d ( MJ/d) and g/d ( g/kg/d) in German national team members. Fluid intake was calculated as mL/d. During the race, athletes consumed kcal and mL of fluids. Substrate intake per hour was calculated as g of carbohydrates and g of proteins. In conclusion, anthropometric and oxygen uptake characteristics of mountain runners were similar to those reported for elite distance runners. Carbohydrate intake before and during the race was below recommendations for endurance athletes. This is of concern when considering the increased reliance on carbohydrates at altitude.
