PROPER NUTRITION FOR EVERYONE WHO EXERCISES

Proper Nutrition for Everyone Who Exercises, book from Salto publications. Proper nutrition in competitive sport is an integral part of athletes’ scientific support. Appropriate nutrition is a prerequisite for an athlete’s ability to withstand training loads. It also contributes to the body’s recovery after training and competition loads. Appropriate nutrition plays an equally important role for recreational athletes who exercise regularly and aim to improve their physical performance and enhance their health. The book “Sports Nutrition” from Salto publications’ “Proper” series contains the latest essential information for a proper and complete diet.

Today, the importance of nutrition in maintaining good health is unquestionable. For athletes, it is perhaps even greater, as it significantly affects their performance. For this reason, particular importance should be given to following an appropriate nutritional programme during training.

The goals of an athlete’s nutrition are as follows:

• To meet their energy requirements, as well as their needs for all nutrients.
• To follow the general principles of healthy eating that help maintain good health in the long term and prevent disease.
• To achieve the appropriate body weight and muscle-to-fat ratio.
• To help the athlete maximise the benefits of their training, allowing their body to recover as quickly as possible from the fatigue of physical activity and contributing to the best possible biological adaptation.

The main contents of Proper Nutrition for Everyone are:

• Fundamentals of sports nutrition.
• Nutritional strategy.
• Complete and balanced nutrition.
• Guidelines for appropriate nutrition for athletes and recreational exercisers.
• Nutrition according to age.
