Nutrition is an important part of sports performance for athletes. Sports Nutrition is a topic of constant change and has grown as a dynamic field of clinical study. Research continues to advise improved nutritional guidelines and support for both active adults and competitive athletes. But how much do you know about sports nutrition? What and when you eat can affect your performance and how you feel while you are exercising. Brushing up on sports nutrition basics can help you make the most of your exercise routine.


What Is Sports Nutrition?


Sports nutrition is the foundation of athletic success. It is a well-designed nutrition plan that allows active adults and athletes to perform at their best. Macronutrients, micronutrients, and fluids in the proper amounts are essential to provide energy for growth and activity. To optimize performance, young athletes need to learn what, when, and how to eat and drink before, during, and after activity.


A sports nutrition diet may vary from day to day, depending on specific energy demands. It supplies the right food type, energy, nutrients, and fluids to keep the body well-hydrated and functioning at peak levels.


Sports nutrition is unique to each person and is planned according to individual goals.
Sports nutrition focuses on good eating habits all the time but also may focus on carbohydrates. For example, athletes training for endurance events may eat more carbohydrates in their diets in the days before the event to boost their energy and performance. Protein for muscle repair and growth is another important aspect of sports nutrition.


Of course, sports nutrition goes beyond simply what you eat. When you eat is important, too, to maximize workouts. Equally as important are fluids such as water during and between meals.
An athlete’s diet is not much different than that of any person striving to be healthy. You need to include choices from each of the healthy food groups. However, athletes may need to eat more or less of certain foods, depending upon:

  • The type of sport.
  • The amount of training you do.
  • The amount of time you spend in training.


Athletes require a lot of energy and nutrients to stay in shape. Because of this, strict diet plans can hurt your ability and be harmful to your health. Without the calories from carbs, fat, and protein, you may not have enough strength. People often overestimate the number of calories they burn when training. Avoid taking in more energy than you expend exercising. Also, avoid exercising on an empty stomach. Every athlete is different, so things to consider:
How long before working out is best for you to eat?

How much food is the right amount for you?

If you need to gain or lose weight to improve performance, it must be done safely. If not, it may do more harm than good. Do not keep your body weight too low, lose weight too quickly, or prevent weight gain in unhealthy ways. It can have negative health effects.
