Bacillus subtilis probiotic supplementation for female athlete body composition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Athletes engaging in strenuous exercise face immune system impairment, particularly mucosal immunity reduction, leading to increased susceptibility to upper respiratory tract infections and gastrointestinal issues due to gut barrier dysfunction, which existing probiotic supplements have not adequately addressed.
Innovation Solution
Administration of a Bacillus subtilis-containing probiotic composition, either alone or in conjunction with post-workout nutrition, to improve muscle thickness, strength, body composition, and athletic performance by reducing body fat percentage and enhancing recovery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If athletes engage in strenuous exercise, then athletic performance is improved, but immune function is impaired and mucosal immunity is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces probiotic bacteria as an intermediary substance that mediates between exercise-induced immune suppression and infection prevention. The probiotics modulate the immune system response to exercise stress, maintaining mucosal immunity while allowing athletes to train at high intensities without excessive illness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physiological parameters of the immune system through probiotic supplementation. By altering immune function parameters (e.g., mucosal immunity, inflammation markers) through probiotic intake, the system can maintain high athletic performance while improving immune reliability during strenuous exercise periods.
2Productivity
If athletes engage in prolonged high-intensity exercise, then athletic performance is improved, but susceptibility to upper respiratory tract infections increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary anti-action by having athletes consume probiotics before and during training periods to preemptively strengthen mucosal immunity. This preventive approach counteracts the harmful effect of infection susceptibility before it can occur during prolonged high-intensity exercise.
Solution Approach 2:
Probiotics serve as a protective intermediary that shields the athletic system from infection during high-intensity training. The probiotics modulate the gut-immune axis, creating a protective barrier that prevents pathogenic infections while allowing intense training to proceed.
3Productivity
If athletes engage in strenuous exercise, then athletic performance is improved, but gastrointestinal issues and gut barrier dysfunction occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses probiotics as an intermediary to protect the gastrointestinal tract during strenuous exercise. The probiotics strengthen gut barrier function and reduce exercise-induced gastrointestinal distress, allowing athletes to maintain high training intensities without suffering from gut issues.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes gastrointestinal health parameters through probiotic supplementation. By altering gut barrier function, inflammation markers, and digestive health parameters, the system can maintain athletic performance while reducing gastrointestinal issues during and after intense exercise.
4Quantity of substance
If probiotic supplementation is administered, then body composition is improved and body fat percentage is reduced, but the mechanism requires modulation of gut microbiota and immune response
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by using probiotics to naturally modulate the athlete's own gut microbiota and immune response. The probiotics trigger the body's internal mechanisms to burn fat and improve body composition without requiring external intervention beyond the probiotic supplementation itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent achieves body composition improvement by changing physiological parameters through probiotic intake. The probiotics alter gut microbiota composition and immune function parameters, which subsequently leads to reduced body fat percentage and improved body composition in athletes.
