1.7. Wzrost wytrzymałości podczas intensywnych i powtarzających się ćwiczeń beztlenowych (anaerobowych) (ID 1543)

The claimed effect is “enhancing anaerobic working capacity”. The Panel assumes that the target population is individuals performing sports which require intense and repeated exercise bouts.
In the context of the proposed wordings and references provided, the Panel assumes that the claimed effect refers to the increase in exercise performance, which in the present context refers to performing repeated exercise bouts with higher intensity, faster or with a higher power output.
The Panel considers that an increase in performance during intense and repeated anaerobic exercise bouts is a beneficial physiological effect.

The references provided for the scientific substantiation of this claim included a number of human intervention studies which investigated the effect of food constituents other than the specific combination of food constituents which is the subject of the claim, and/or assessed health outcomes (e.g. muscle strength, endurance capacity) unrelated to the claimed effect. The Panel considers that no conclusions can be drawn from these references for the scientific substantiation of the claim.
Among the references provided was a human intervention study in which participants were randomised to receive the specific combination of food constituents which is the subject of the claim or a “placebo” matched with the intervention, except for one constituent (Kreider et al., 1998). The Panel notes that the placebo used in this study does not allow conclusions to be drawn on an effect of the specific combination of food constituents which is the subject of the claim. The Panel considers that no conclusions can be drawn from this reference for the scientific substantiation of the claim.
No human studies which investigated the effects of the specific combination of food constituents on an increase in performance during intense and repeated anaerobic exercise bouts were provided in relation to the claim evaluated in this section.
The Panel concludes that a cause and effect relationship has not been established between the consumption of the combination of food constituents which is the subject of the claim evaluated in this section and increase in performance during intense and repeated anaerobic exercise bouts.
