Sports nutrition consist of good quality and quantity of Proteins, carbohydrates and fats , minerals and vitamins. In addition, it also deals with the consumption of other nutrients such as vitamins, minerals.Nutrition is an important part of many sports training regimens. Good nutrition can enhance sports performance , being popular in strength sports (such as weightlifting and bodybuilding) and endurance sports (e.g. cycling, running, swimming, ).
Adding right foods to your body is essential for sports performance,Sports diet differs from regular diet because athletes require different amounts of nutrients as per their physical activity.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Dietitians of Canada and the American College of Sports Medicine recommend 1.2 to 2.0 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day for athletes, depending on physical activity. Protein intake should be added throughout the day and after workouts. A sports diet may vary day to day, depending on specific energy demands and individual goals.
Eating before exercise as well as after exercise is very important to make sure that appropriate food and fluid is injected during exercise, in both training and competition.
During most sports, our body's main fuel mix comes from carbohydrate (from muscle glycogen and blood glucose) and fat. Generally, if the sport involves less than an hour of activity, one can perform well without having to refuel during the event. With good food choices, one should be able to fuel up adequately before the sport, and then replace the fuels you have used with the post-event meals. On the other hand, sweat losses accrue from the start of your activity and, in many sports or conditions, may cause a fluid deficit that interferes with performance. This calls for an individualized fluid plan during and after exercise to manage the fluid deficit and replace it after exercise.
If any sport or training takes longer than an hour, one may benefit from consuming some carbohydrates during sport in addition to fluid. The decision will depend on the intensity of the exercise (higher intensity burns glycogen more quickly), duration (the longer the event, the more carbohydrate is burned), ambient temperature (the hotter it is, the quicker glycogen will be burned. But it is also more likely it is that overheating and dehydration will limit performance), and how well one have eaten before sport (eating carbohydrate before exercise increases body carbohydrate stores, but also increases the rate at which carbohydrate is burned during exercise
The benefits of consuming carbohydrate during exercise include:
• Keeping blood glucose levels high during prolonged moderate-high intensity events. Blood glucose can provide an alternative fuel source for the muscle when glycogen levels dwindle.
• Providing a fuel source for the brain to maintain skills and decision making, and reduce the perception of fatigue.
• Sparing or replenishing muscle glycogen.
We think that in some situations, such as low intensity work, carbohydrate consumed during exercise can be burned to spare glycogen stores or can build new glycogen stores for later use.
