Los Angeles, Calif., November 3, 2009 - Tiger Woods is synonymous with
intense focus on the golf course and his legendary mental concentration
and ability to block out distractions has made him one of the most
intense competitors in the history of golf. And while most professional
golfers and average players alike will never have that level of mental
focus, scientists have discovered that there are indeed natural
enhancers that can boost golfers' ability to focus, hit better shots,
and ultimately improve their game.
The Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition recently
reported that Phosphatidylserine (PS), an essential component of all
biological membrane and required for normal cellular structure and
function, can be used to positively aid a golfer's performance. In a
six week study of PS supplementation, the naturally produced element
was shown statistically not to improve perceived stress levels in
golfers while simultaneously providing significant improvement in the
number of good ball flights during tee-off which might result in
improved golf scores. In essence, adding PS to your diet may help you
increase mental concentration and actually lead to better performance
on and off the golf course.
PS has been established as a safe oral supplement capable of
attenuating the serum cortisol and creatine kinase responses to acute
exercise stress. In addition, PS has been reported to improve
subjective measures of overtraining such as perceived muscle soreness
and well-being. These finding suggest that PS partly counteracts the
stress-induced activation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)
axis.
In addition to decreasing physical stress, PS supplementation benefits
subjects suffering from mental stress. PS supplementation has been
reported to improve mood in a sub-group of healthy young adults when
faced with a stressful mental task and blunted both serum ACTH and
cortisol, and salivary cortisol responses to the Trier Social Stress
Test (TSST).
