Innovation Technologies in Sport Nutrition

Abstract

The article provides findings of the research dealing with innovation technologies in sport nutrition using unconventional sources, i. e. apiculture products in order to raise immune-response of sports people. Four experimental groups were chosen: the 1st group included people taking a certain composition of honey with pollen in ratio 5 : 100; the 2nd group – people taking a mixture of honey with bee-glue in ratio 2 : 100; the 3rd group – people taking honey with royal jelly in ratio 1 : 100 and the 4th group – control one. As a result of innovation technology application, i.e. using unconventional raw material a serious rise in immune-response of sports people was observed due to their food status. The authors’ research gives an opportunity to widen the range of using innovation technologies in order to improve functional properties of food for sport nutrition.
