4 tips for greater sports performance

• April 26, 2024

The feeding of a person who practices physical activity is often very important, especially to optimize the sports performance and the weight control . A proper diet can make a big difference, before, during and after the exercise , and even in the recovery period.

If you exercise between 3 to 4 times a week you should focus mainly on carrying a feeding balanced and vast. For those who make exercises more vigorous (between 6 to 7 times / week) should pay special attention to the replacement of reserves of muscle glycogen , modifying the distribution of the nutrient percentage of the day.

The importance of being optimally nourished when carrying out a constant exercise routine will determine the good state of health of each individual. That's why it's important not to be hungry during each routine. For this we offer you some suggestions:

1. It is recommended to split the feeding in 5 takes a day (the three main ones: breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as two snacks). In the main meals, at least one food must be included in each group of the plate of good eating .

2. Have breakfast every day. If you prefer to do an exercise routine in the morning, have breakfast before you start. There are many disadvantages when exercising on an empty stomach. In addition to reducing the sports performance , there is a risk of hypoglycemia during the effort, fatigue, dizziness and drowsiness. It should be noted that failure to eat properly, recovery after exercise may be hindered.

3. Choose to eat a portion of carbohydrate , for example a cereal bar before each exercise routine will help increase the oxidation of glycogen during the exercise.

4. Drink water. All athletes should drink plenty of fluid before, during and after exercise to stay hydrated and replenish important electrolytes.

If you are not well hydrated, not only the ability to resist sports is diminished, but also serious health risks occur.

Given the benefits that exercise provides to health, it is important to get the most out of it and maintain the energy to lead an active lifestyle.
To obtain an ideal weight, we recommend that you go with a health professional to design a feeding plan special for every need.
