NUTRITION (International Society of Sports Nutrition)

The International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) defines nutrition as the science that studies how food and nutrients influence health, performance, and recovery, especially in active individuals. It emphasizes balanced intake of macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals) to optimize physical function, support muscle growth, and aid recovery. Proper nutrition is tailored to individual needs, activity levels, and goals, helping athletes perform better and maintain overall well-being. The ISSN promotes evidence-based dietary practices that enhance athletic performance while ensuring health and safety.
