The nutritional requirements of the sportsperson are higher than the general active population with respect to all nutrients- energy, proteins, carbohydrates, fat, fluids, vitamins and minerals. The more intense the sport or exercise, the greater is the body's need for these nutrients. When talented and highly trained athletes meet for competition, the margin between victory and defeat is usually small. When everything else is equal, nutrition can make the difference between winning and losing. There is no dispute that the most effective way to attain maximum potential for an athlete is systematic and consistent training combined with the right nutrition support.

Abstract


The nutritional requirements of the sportsperson are higher than the general active population with respect to all nutrients- energy, proteins, carbohydrates, fat, fluids, vitamins and minerals. The more intense the sport or exercise, the greater is the body's need for these nutrients. When talented and highly trained athletes meet for competition, the margin between victory and defeat is usually small. When everything else is equal, nutrition can make the difference between winning and losing. There is no dispute that the most effective way to attain maximum potential for an athlete is systematic and consistent training combined with the right nutrition support.
