Fenilketonurija in šport : diplomsko delo

Pregelj, Vid (author), Lenasi, Helena (mentor)

V diplomski nalogi sem predstavil življenje športnika s fenilketonurijo (PKU). Diplomska naloga je v veliki meri pisana iz osebnih izkušenj in ugotovitev. Osredotočil sem se na vprašanje, ali ima otrok oziroma mladostnik s presnovno boleznijo in posledično omejeno prehrano sploh kakšne možnosti, da odraste v vrhunskega športnika. Predstavil sem bolezen in njene značilnosti ter skušal čim bolje opisati, kako zgleda življenje in prehranjevanje bolnika s PKU. Nadalje sem razložil in opredelil pojem športne prehrane. Primerjal sem jedilnik zdravega športnika z dietnim jedilnikom, kakršnega se mora držati človek s PKU. Zadnje poglavje pa sem posvetil opisu in analizi eksperimenta, ki sem ga v preteklih dveh letih izvedel kar na sebi. Ugotoviti sem skušal, kako velik pomen dejansko ima prehrana v športu in kakšen rezultat dobimo, če iz prehrane skoraj popolnoma umaknemo beljakovine. V treh obdobjih sem se držal kar se da enakega režima treningov in fizične aktivnosti ter spreminjal le dieto. V zadnjem obdobju sem za približek normalni polnovredni prehrani jemal še prehransko dopolnilo kreatin monohidrat, ki ga s svojo dietno prehrano praktično ne morem vnesti v telo. Rezultati so pokazali, da je z omejenim vnosom beljakovin praktično nemogoče povečati telesno maso. Šele z jemanjem kreatina je prišlo do kakršnih koli sprememb telesne mase. Kljub temu pa moramo rezultate interpretirati previdno, saj je imel eksperiment pomanjkljivosti, ne nazadnje ni bil zasnovan na vzorcu, ampak zgolj na enem posamezniku.

Abstract

In my diploma, I wanted to shine a little light on a rather rare metabolic disease named PKU and give a picture of a life and struggles, a sportsman with such a disease has. This particular diploma also has a biographical note, since a lot of it is based on my personal life experiences.The main focus of the diploma is on a question, weather a person with PKU has any chance to succeed in sport. I tried to present and describe phenylketonuria and describe, how a life of a person with PKU looks like. Furthermore, I examined and compared two diet plans. One of a normal healthy sportsman and one from a PKU patient. The last chapter is a description of an experiment I have conducted on myself in the last two years. I wanted to find out how important good nutrition really is for a sportsman. Particularly, I was interested in the importance of proteins intake. The experiment was conducted in three sequent parts with as similar amount of training and physical activity as possible and different diet plans. In the last part, I've tried to get as close as I can, without endangering my wellbeing, to an optimal nutrition. To achieve that, I used a well-known food supplement, creatine monohydrate, which I can not get into my system with regular food. However, the results should be taken with some caution, since the experiment had several imperfections. Especially the fact, that it had been done on just one subject.
