Food, consumption & perception

The contemporary world is characterised by a plethora of consumer stimuli and an unprecedented diversity and richness of foodstuffs. 
Nevertheless, when faced with an unprecedented number of informative labels, consumers often prefer to use shortcut heuristics. While food is the foundation of nutrition, the context of consumption and the environment in which it is received play a fundamental role in its appreciation. Food trends, with their periodic cyclical condemnation of specific foods or nutrients, followed by their inevitable rehabilitation, gives rise to pervasive uncertainty and guidance. The neophobia of minors, coupled with inadequate nutritional education and the monotony of meals at home, results in significant issues of satisfaction and reduced waste in school canteens. These factors are examined in depth to underscore the crucial need for food education to prevent long-term health complications, particularly among younger consumers.

  • Labels and heuristics: a modern paradox (Prof. Michele A. Fino)
  • Food perception and environmental factors (Dott. Riccardo Migliavada)
  • Monsters & Co.: food trends as a threat to nutritional health(Dott. Andrea Devecchi)
  • Familiar habits and Children food appreciation: the results of Nourishing School Research (Prof.ssa M.G. Onorati)
University, Sport, Health, Environment. How to Live in an Interconnected and Sustainable Way

Sustainability is a global priority, and each of us can do our part to create a greener and healthier future. Let’s explore how we can integrate sustainability into some key aspects of our lives:

  • University students, Professors and Researchers are agents of change. We can reduce the ecological footprint of universities by promoting sustainable courses of study, by approaching research and development through a circular and transdisciplinary approach, and by participating in initiatives that raise the university community’s awareness of sustainability issues.
  • Sport can be a powerful tool to promote sustainability. We can choose sports activities with a low environmental impact but can also support through disciplines and practices that prevent the risk of accidents and the occurrence of diseases.
  • One Planet, one Health is one of UPO integrated approaches that recognises the close relationship between humans, plants and animals, and the need to implement coordinated actions across different sectors to protect our health and that of ecosystems. We are fond of our Aging Projects and of NODES Spoke 5 (Health Industry and Silver Economy, the North-West Digital and Sustainable Ecosystem), which is led by UPO and financed by NextGenerationEU.

Brain and exercise

Evidences are available that physical exercise can both structurally and functionally modify brain neural networks. Interestingly, any type of exercise (cardiovascular, strength, or mixed) can induce such changes. This set of presentations aims to present, at three different levels, the research activities at University of Turin within this framework. A number of examples on the how and to which extent exercising modifies our cognitive functioning will be provided. At a second level, we will focus on neuromuscular performance which relies on the nervous system’s ability to coordinate and control muscle actions effectively. This involves both strength capacity (the maximum force that can be exerted) and motor control (the precision and timing of muscle activation). At the final level we will move to the self-perceived well-being status describing monitoring training in several sport disciplines (even considering different types, aims of training session, athletes’ competition level, and comparison between athletes and coaches) to regularly monitor athlete’s perceptions for preventing overtraining syndrome and better planning training. 

  • Physical Exercise as a factor in Neuroplasticity (prof. Alberto Rainoldi, Dpt. Medical Sciences)
  • Exercise, brain, and cognition (prof. Lorenzo Pia, Dpt. Psychology)
  • The neuromuscular determinants of performance: when the neural drive is more important than muscles (prof. Gennaro Boccia, Dpt. Clinical and Biological Sciences)
  • Perception of internal training load and well-being (prof. Corrado Lupo, Dpt. Medical Sciences)

Good fats, bad fats, just fats. Challenges and innovation related to the production of food for sport
Lipids are macronutrients, which, in addition to calorie intake, also provide essential molecules, including vitamins, hormone precursors and other bioactive molecules.
 
This makes the topic of ‘dietary fats’ particularly interesting, especially in relation to food formulation and shelf life, as well as the intake requirements for a correct and healthy diet, also also with regard to sports activity.
 
The aim of this presentation is to provide a clarification between physiological needs and dietary quality, without forgetting the technological aspects of food.

Maria Fiorenza Caboni has been a full professor in the field of Food Science and Technology at the University of Bologna since 2008; her research activity focuses on food quality and safety, with a special focus on lipids.

Risks and potentials of sport in relation to sustainable development
Sport is impacting the environment in many ways, and environmental problems and risks (climate change, extreme weather, pollution, etc.) poses risks for athletes and sport practitioners.
 
Are the ambitions of long-term sustainability and performance possible to unite? If so, what are the main challenges that the sporting world needs to address? The history of sports shows a track record of aiming to improve, and to deliver positive outcomes regarding issues such as gender equality, integration, public health. Can sport also play a part in making the world more environmentally sustainable?

Prof. Svensson conducts research on knowledge issues in sport. He has investigated the historical process of scientization of training methods in endurance sports, and meetings between scientific and experiential knowledge in sports such as football and cross-country skiing. Svensson has a broad interest in issues relating to knowledge, technology and performance in sport, and their implications for athletes and coaches. He has been a Guest Professor at the University of Turin and is also a Research Fellow at the Swedish Olympic Committee. His publications include many books and articles about change and risks in sport and outdoor recreation, including the anthology Sport, Performance and Sustainability (Svensson et al., Routledge, 2023). Svensson is also an engaged and experienced teacher and has worked with a number of courses at Malmö University, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Chalmers University of Technology, University of Gothenburg and the University of Turin.

Wearable and telemedicine innovations for Olympic events and elite sport in the age of big data and AI
A growing number of companies are developing or using wearable sensor technologies that can monitor, analyse, and transmit data from humans in real time that can be used by the sporting, biomedical, and media industries. To explore this phenomenon, I will describe and review numerous high profile sporting events where innovations in wearable technologies were trialled: the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games (Tokyo 2020, Japan), 2022/23 adidas Road to Records (Germany) and Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics. These major sporting events represent the first time academic and industry partners have come together to implement real-time wearable solutions during major competition, to protect the health of athletes competing in hot and humid environments, as well as to better understand how these metrics can be used moving forwards.
Despite the undoubted benefits of such wearables, there are well-founded concerns regarding their use including:
1) limited evidence quantifying the potential beneficial effects of analysing specific parameters;
2) the quality of hardware and provided data;
3) information overload;
4) data security and
5) exaggerated marketing claims.
Employment and sporting rules and regulations also need to evolve to facilitate the use of wearable devices. There is also the potential to obtain real-time data that will oblige medical personnel to make crucial decisions around whether their athletes should continue competing or withdraw for health reasons. In order to protect athletes, the urgent need is to overcome these ethical/data protection concerns and develop wearable technologies that are backed by quality science.
The fields of sport and exercise science and medicine provides an excellent platform to understand the impact of wearable sensors on performance, wellness, health, and disease

Professor Yannis Pitsiladis has an established history of  research into the importance of lifestyle and genetics for human health and performance.

Current research priority is the application of “omics” (i.e. genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics and proteomics) to the detection of drugs in sport with particular reference to recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo), blood doping and testosterone.

His most recent research is funded by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC), he is a member of the IOC Medical and Scientific Commission, a member of the Executive Committee and Chair of the Scientific Commission of the International Sports Medicine Federation (FIMS), a member of the Scientific and Education Commission of the European Federation of Sports Medicine Associations (EFSMA), a member of WADA’s Health Medical Research Committee (HMRC), past member a WADA’s List Expert Group and is a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).

He has published over 250 scientific papers, written and edited a number of books and has featured in numerous documentaries (e.g. “Kipchoge: The Last Milestone” is a 2021 documentary film directed by Jake Scott and executive produced by Ridley Scott; “Enhanced” – Documentary Film, 2018. Produced by award winning director Alex Gibney) and popular books (e.g. The Sports Gene: Inside the Science of Extraordinary Athletic Performance; Bounce: The Myth of Talent and the Power of Practice).
