A Brief Guide to Sports Nutrition

Article Category: Wellness, Fitness and Diet

Author Name: James Spann

Being an athlete is not all about rigid training. Aside from this, athletes can gain a peak performance by getting the right amount of nutrients . Sports nutrition is all about nutrition and diet in relation to athletes. Sports nutrition entails the proper quantity of fluids and food in accordance to the need of an athlete. Moreover, sports nutrition carefully suggests essential supplements and minerals to boost one's physical capability.

Athlete's primarily depends on carbohydrates. Carbohydrate fuels approximately 50% of energy needed to perform a moderate exercise. Actually, carbohydrate I s classified into two categories: the simple carbohydrate and the complex carbohydrate. Simple carbohydrates are actually simple sugars with chemical properties and structures that are composed of one or two sugars.

Examples of simple carbohydrates are fruits, honey, sugar and milk; while complex carbohydrate is a type of carbohydrate that has a simple chemical structure. Example of these are lasagna, spaghetti and potatoes. If the event would last for about 90 minutes, athletes are advised to execute a high-carbohydrate diet three days before the event. However, it is not advisable to continuously eat a high-carbohydrate diet as this may lead to obesity.

Activities such as marathon make an athlete perspire. As one perspires, he is losing significant amount of sodium and water in his body and this often leads to dehydration. Drinking energy drinks can help you to regain your energy simply because they are good providers of sodium. But every athlete can now make a homemade energy drink. This energy drink is done by combining six tablespoons of sugar and a third teaspoon of salt to every quart of water. This energy drink is actually best for the marathoners. Like the high-carbohydrate diet, energy drink is not advisable after the event.

Consuming sugar before an event is not also good to provide working energy. As such, eating such food may lead to dehydration. This is because our body needs sufficient amount of water to process sugar. Surge of insulin is also a possible aftermath of this sugar consumption before the event. Insulin causes drop in blood sugar level. Furthermore, sports nutrition suggests that low blood sugar can cause to nausea and severe fatigue.

Water is also accentuated in sports nutrition. Athletes should commence the event in an excellent and sufficient amount of water. Moreover, water is also important after the event to regain one's lost fluid. Half hour before the event, athletes are advised to drink at least two cups of water. Subsequently, an athlete should drink additional 1/2 cup of water every 10-15 minutes to avoid dehydration.

These are just some of the nutrients needed in sports nutrition so an athlete can achieve his peak performance during an event. Other important nutrients to take into consideration are protein, fats, vitamins and minerals. Nutritional misinformation kills the dream of potential athletes. Having a sufficient knowledge in sports nutrition can be your key towards achieving your desired athletic success.
