      Prix Races in Elite Female Swimmer.

AB  - The nutritional intake of elite open water swimmers during competition is not 
      well established, and therefore this case study aims to provide new insights by 
      describing the feeding strategies adopted by an elite female swimmer (28 yrs; 
      height; 1.71 m; body mass: 60 kg; body fat: 16.0%) in the FINA open water Grand 
      Prix 2014.Seven events of varying distances (15-88 km) and durations (3-12 hrs) 
      were included. In all events, except one, feeds were provided from support boats. 
      Swimmer and support staff were instructed to track in detail all foods and 
      beverages consumed during the events. Nutritional information was gathered from 
      the packaging and dietary supplements labels and analyzed by nutrition software. 
      Mean carbohydrate (CHO) and protein intake reached 83 +/- 5 g.h-1 and 12 +/- 8 g.h-1, 
      respectively. Fat intake was neglected (~1 g.h-1). Mean in-race energy intake 
      reached 394 +/- 26 kcal.h-1. Dietary supplements in the form of sport beverages and 
      gels, containing multitransportable CHO, provided 40 +/- 4 and 49 +/- 6% of all CHO 
      energy, respectively. Caffeine (3.6 +/- 1.8 mg.kg-1 per event) and sodium (423 +/- 16 
      mg.h-1) were additionally supplemented in all events. It was established that 
      continuous intake of high doses of CHO and sodium and moderate dose of caffeine 
      were an essential part of the feeding strategy for elite-level high intensity 
      ultra-endurance open-water swimming races. A well scheduled and well-prepared 
      nutrition strategy is believed to have ensured optimal individual performance 
      during Grand Prix events.
