Chapter 11 Science and Technology Football (I)

In any case, in Gao Jun's view, what Chongming Base needs most at present is actually physical coaches and nutritionists, more precisely, physical coaches and nutritionists who are familiar with the characteristics of young players and have a high level of business.

Although he is not a professional, Gao Jun can be said to be the first person in China to introduce the concept of "science and technology", and he also has a deep understanding of sports nutrition.

Take the well-known Chinese develop later than Westerners, and there is a significant gap in physique, many people think it is the reason for the race, but Gao Jun knows that in addition to the black people are indeed slightly better in physical quality, the white race and the yellow race actually have no obvious advantages, the reason why the difference is so big in reality is mainly because the traditional dietary structure of East Asians is conducive to longevity, but it is not conducive to strong fitness.

To put it simply, East Asians, especially Chinese, lack of calcium and zinc in the dietary structure, according to the standards of athletes, there is also a lack of high-quality protein, and the intake of salt and fat is high, which is a great hindrance to the physical development of young athletes.

In addition, although the MSG commonly used in Chinese cuisine is not harmful to ordinary people, athletes still do not eat well (Note 1), and soy sauce is theoretically no problem, but because of the production process, if the quality is not up to par (in terms of athletes' requirements), it is also detrimental to the athlete's body, so those recipes prepared by foreign nutritionists are basically neither MSG nor soy sauce, and for the greedy Chinese, those foods are simply pig food

Gao Jun studied nutrition on his own, and once studied the solution, for soy sauce, although there is no safe soy sauce for athletes in China, but as long as you know the type of soy sauce, it is not difficult to find out what can be used. The soy sauce on the market can be divided into two categories: brewed soy sauce and prepared soy sauce, among which the configured soy sauce may use a chemical hydrolysis process, or simply blended out, this kind of soy sauce has low cost, but poor quality, low nutritional value, and may contain trace amounts of toxic substances "chloropropanol".

Brewing soy sauce is divided into high-salt dilute brewing process and low-salt solid brewing process. The low-salt solid-state brewing process is a kind of rapid brewing process, which has a short brewing time and poor quality, but because of its low price, it has a high market share. The soy sauce brewed in high salt dilute state is divided into two kinds, one is Cantonese high salt, the other is Japanese high salt, Cantonese high salt dilute brewing process is a room temperature brewing process, the fermentation temperature is 25 °C ~ 40 °C, room temperature fermentation needs to be open, easy to pollute, impurities; The Japanese-style high-salt dilute brewing process needs to ensure fermentation between 15°C~20°C, and the closed tank fermentation is maintained during the low-temperature brewing process, and harmful impurities in nature are also excluded. This high-salt dilute process uses low-temperature brewing technology, and the "low-temperature brewed soy sauce" brewed by this process is the predecessor of the special soy sauce for athletes later, and there is no difference in itself except for the lack of labels. This kind of soy sauce may not be available elsewhere, but in the cosmopolitan city of Shanghai, it is not a problem at all

As for MSG, oyster sauce, a special condiment commonly used by southerners, is completely harmless to athletes and can be used instead of it for the seasoning of dishes, and for seafood, pasta (noodles, dumplings, etc.). ), tofu (especially spicy tofu, with or without oyster sauce makes a world of difference.) ), rice noodle products (such as fried pho, oyster sauce must be added, otherwise it will not be delicious.) In the case of foods, the delicious taste after pouring oyster sauce is far from being comparable to the effect of adding some MSG.

In addition, oyster sauce is a common name for oysters (a common name for oysters, and sometimes it refers to the best of oysters. The soup is concentrated and refined with auxiliary materials, so the zinc content is very high (the zinc content of oysters is dozens of times or even hundreds of thousands of times higher than that of ordinary food), and the most lacking mineral for Chinese (especially men) is zinc, and most people's average daily intake is less than half of the recommended value (in other words, Chinese medicine strongly opposes indulgence, and Western medicine does not care too much, because the zinc intake of Chinese is too small to withstand consumption, while Westerners can afford to consume it.) ), but eat more oyster sauce (if you completely replace MSG, the dosage will definitely not be small.) Since athletes eat a lot of meat, they don't have to worry about zinc deficiency at all, and oysters themselves are one of Gao Jun's favorite foods

Zinc mainly affects the nervous and reproductive systems, and for the former, although football is played with the feet, it is also important to use the brain, while for the latter, the significance is not only to enhance sexual performance. Insufficient zinc intake can affect the production of testosterone, which is not only a trigger for men's libido, but also makes men have thicker, more muscular bones, helps the body eliminate excess fat, and quickly recovers physical energy, and if it is a growing season, it has a greater impact.

Therefore, a long-term supply of zinc for the same child will not only make him mature faster, but also the strength, speed, endurance and other physical factors of the body will be much stronger than that of a child who grows up with insufficient zinc

Like zinc, the calcium intake of Chinese is generally insufficient, and the needs of athletes are greater than that of ordinary people, and the lack is naturally more severe. For ordinary people, drinking more milk is enough to ensure calcium intake, but for athletes is still somewhat insufficient, so highly concentrated cheese is the first choice, it is also the best source of high-quality protein, although for most Chinese, the taste of cheese is quite weird, but in order to have a strong body, Gao Jun still insists on eating at least one piece of cheese every day.

Generally speaking, even in China, athletes are not deficient in protein, because meat, poultry, eggs and aquatic products are high in content, and they are also very high-quality sources of protein according to the "overall best" standard of nutrition.

However, even people who don't understand nutrition know that eating more beef can make the body stronger, because beef is rich in special nutrients such as sarcosine and carnitine, which are particularly effective for growing muscles and enhancing strength, and can also greatly improve the body's anaerobic endurance (refers to the ability to work for muscle contraction and energy for a long time in a hypoxic state). It is often measured by repetitive movements with maximum exertion in a short period of time and short rests, and is one of the most important physical elements for strikers, wingers (aerobic endurance is more required for full-backs), attacking shadow strikers and central defenders (including defensive full-backs). So for Gao Jun, who plays as a striker, it is undoubtedly best to eat beef as the main meat.

Note 1: MSG itself is harmless, but it will increase sodium intake, which is not a good thing for athletes, and secondly, it will produce harmful substances if it is not cooked properly.
