Objective of the study was to analyze benefits of modern biologically active additives for energy generation mechanisms in the ice hockey sport. Methods and structure of the study. We conducted a systematic review of the scientific research on the keywords: hockey, nutrition, sports nutrition, nutraceuticals, biologically active additives in two electronic databases ?library.ru and Pubmed. Results and conclusions. The review considered the biochemical features of energy supply of ice hockey players. We analyzed the process of renewal of the main sources of energy before, during, and after the game: ATP, creatine phosphate in the muscles, glycogen in the muscles and liver using biologically active additives. A review of the activities on the acceleration of metabolism of the substances that restrict energy supply in ice hockey is included. The authors note that the combination of ATP with hydroxymethyl butyrate is the most effective way to increase the level of ATP in the muscles with a high level of evidence. It is shown that creatine has an ergonomic effect on ice hockey players. The effects of creatine are associated with its positive impact on the neuromuscular function and the increase of glycogen in the muscles due to the protein (glucose transporter GLUT4) expression of the glucose-carrying protein. Supplementation for the purpose of emergency compensation of carbohydrates during the training and competitive activities (carb mineral drinks) gives an opportunity to replenish the energy consumption as early as in the course of the game, improves a number of performance indicators, and replenishes glycogen depot levels. The consumption by ice hockey players of the biologically active additives containing leucine, glutamine, BCAA, magnesium, thiamine, biotin, and lipoic acid inhibits the accumulation of lactic acid in the body. The lactat acid acidosis levels can be reduced by taking such biologically active additives as beta-alanine and carnosine (beta-alanine-L-histidine). When an athlete ingests amber acid (succinate) in the form of biologically active additives, his cellular respiration is increased and aerobic glycolysis is stimulated.
