Energize Your Sports Performance
Sports Nutrition for Marathoner, Ultra Marathoners, Triathletes and Sports person’s
At Sports Scientist Sonzal, we emphasize the pivotal role of nutritious meals and snacks in fostering the optimal performance of amateur athletes. Recognizing that individual nutrient requirements are influenced by factors such as sport type, activity intensity, age, body size, goals, and training volume, we advocate for a diversified, well-balanced diet tailored to each athlete’s unique needs.
In the realm of sports nutrition, heightened considerations arise for individuals engaged in intensive sports activities, including marathoners, ultra-marathoners, triathletes, cricketers, footballers, tennis players, and other athletes. Addressing the specialized dietary needs associated with daily training and competition, we prioritize the development and maintenance of a nutrition plan that accommodates the additional demands of growth and development.
To facilitate this, we have curated a comprehensive fact sheet specifically designed for athletes actively participating in organized training and competitions, particularly those involved in endurance sports such as Marathons, Ultra Marathons, and Triathlons. Our commitment lies in aiding athletes to fulfill their maximum potential by aligning their eating patterns with the nutritional requirements essential for both sporting success and healthy growth and development.
At Sports Scientist Sonzal, we believe that healthy, well-balanced meals and snacks give kids & adults the nutrients they need to do well in sports.
Besides getting the right amount of calories, eating a variety of nutritious foods will help them play at their best.
Individual nutrient needs vary by sport, type, and intensity of the activity, age, body size, goals, and training volume.
Generally speaking, the more intense the activity and the more hours you train, the higher your carbohydrate and overall calorie needs will be.
Special needs of sports nutrition begin to emerge for those who have a high level of participation in sport. The young athletes must meet the nutritional requirement associated with undertaking daily training and competition while ensuring they have a diet that caters to the added demands of their growth and development. To ensure that the young athletes fulfil his or her potential, we consider eating patterns for identifying sporting success with the nutritional considerations for healthy growth and development.
To address this, we have developed a fact sheet that is targeted at athletes who are involved with organised training and competition (active adolescents) and those with higher training volumes.
