Sports Nutrition

Nutrition is an important part of sport performance for young athletes, in addition to allowing for optimal growth and development. Sports nutrition enhances athletic performance by decreasing fatigue and the risk of disease and injury; it also enables athletes to optimize training and recover faster. Not only is the type of food important for sports nutrition but the times sports person eat throughout the day also has an impact on our performance levels and their bodies ability to recover after exercising. The food consumed by athletes’ has an impact on strength, training, performance and recovery.

Although Meals eaten before and after exercise are most important in sports nutrition but one should really be careful with everything that is put into the body. The amount, composition and timing of food intake can profoundly affect sports performance. Macronutrients, micronutrients and fluids in the proper amounts are essential to provide energy for growth and activity. The proportions of protein and carbohydrates that one require will vary depending on both the intensity and type of sport. As a general rule of thumb athletes should eat about two hours before exercising and this meal should be high in carbohydrates, low in fat and low to moderate in protein. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy that powers your exercise regime and protein is required to aid muscle growth and repair. After exercising they need to replace the carbohydrates they have lost and need to ensure proper muscle recovery by including protein in post training meal.
