Sport-specific Nutrition

Sport-specific nutrition focuses on tailoring dietary choices according to the specific demands of different sports. Athletes have unique energy and nutrient needs based on their sport's intensity, duration, and style. For example, a marathon runner requires more carbohydrates for endurance, while a weightlifter may need more protein for muscle repair. Proper sport-specific nutrition helps athletes enhance performance, recover faster, and reduce injury risk by providing the right balance of macronutrients (carbs, proteins, and fats) and essential vitamins and minerals. Ultimately, it supports their training goals and overall health.
