Sports Nutrition
For athletes to perform optimally, they need to train hard and fuel their body appropriately. The food we eat impacts our training, strength, performance, and recovery. Advanced whole body composition measurements are used to accurately assess and create an individualized nutritional fitness plan.
Sports nutrition applies not only to elite athletes but to all individuals who are regularly active.
Differences exist in specific nutrient needs along the designated spectrum of athletes, and the chosen sport, thus an individualized sports nutrition plan based on current evidence-based guidelines is necessary for success.
Rehabilitation nutrition for injured athletes is necessary for improved wound healing, tissue repair, and the inhibition of muscle breakdown. Perioperative nutrition can maximize surgical outcomes and improve post-injury performance.
Individuals that are retiring from a sport, whether at the high school, collegiate, or national level also require an appropriately tailored nutritional plan. Overall caloric needs for retired athletes will decrease due to a reduction in physical activity as well as a change in body composition and reduced basal metabolic rate during the transition out of an active athletic career. Due to this, retired athletes are at a higher risk of obesity, disordered eating behaviors, and the development of several chronic diseases.
There is no substitute or supplement for a well-balanced diet in sports performance. Sports nutrition is the foundation of athletic success.
