Athletes need a lot of energy and nutrients to stay fit. As a result, strict diet plans can impair your ability and be harmful to your health. You may not have enough strength if you don't consume enough calories from carbs, fat, and protein. Malnutrition can also result from not eating enough. Female athletes may experience irregular menstrual cycles. You increase your chances of developing osteoporosis, a condition characterized by brittle bones caused in part by a lack of calcium. If you and your coach believe you need to lose weight, seek medical attention. Before making major dietary changes, consult with your doctor. (Eating for peak athletic performance)
Paying attention to nutrient intake improves athletic performance and training recovery. Creating an ideal nutrition plan for health and performance entails determining the appropriate quantity, quality, and timing of food and fluids to support regular training and peak performance.
The most important thing athletes can do is stay hydrated. This is particularly true on game day. Nearly 60% of your body is made up of water. When you sweat during a workout, you lose a lot of fluid. Thirst is an indication of dehydration. Don't put off drinking until you're thirsty. A good rule of thumb is to drink something every 15 to 20 minutes. But don't drink so much that you're stuffed.
