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. It supplies the right food type, energy, nutrients, and fluids to keep the body well hydrated and functioning at peak levels.
Sports nutrition plays a key role in optimizing the beneficial effects of physical activity, whether you’re a bodybuilder, professional athlete in training or exercising to improve your mental and physical health. Making informed decisions with your nutrition and hydration can result in improved performance, injury prevention and quicker recovery but it's difficult to know where to start with so much conflicting information readily available. That's where the help of a professional nutritionist can aid your decisions, and ultimately improve your performance..
Nutrition professionals offer a variety of services to support your health and sporting goals. This can range from a daily food diary to tips for eating after workouts or a comprehensive nutrition plan for training and competitions.
Consuming the right balance of food and drink is important for everyone and those actively participating in sport need to be aware that it can also affect performance. For example, athletes may need more calories than the average person or individuals training for bodybuilding competitions may need to increase their protein intake: a good nutrition plan is key to your success.
