Nutritional Periodization Model

The Nutritional Periodization Model is a strategy that adjusts an athlete’s diet based on their training schedule and goals. It involves varying nutrient intake—such as carbohydrate, protein, and fat consumption—according to different training phases, like heavy workouts, recovery, or rest days. This approach helps optimize performance, support recovery, and prevent burnout or injury. By tailoring nutrition to match training intensity and goals, athletes can enhance their results efficiently and maintain a balanced, sustainable diet throughout their training cycle.
