Document Summary
Sports nutrition integrates scientific nutrition and exercise physiology for performance, recovery, and good health. Performance-focused recreational athletes: former competitive athletes who still train for masters events or to be competitive within their age group. Physical activity: bodily movement resulting in increased energy expenditure above resting levels. Exercise: physical activity that is planned, structures, repetitive, and that improvement or maintenance is the key. Aerobic: with oxygen- activity that uses the oxygen dependent energy system (oxidative phosphorylation) for endurance activities. Ultra endurance athletes: engage in activity for several hours (triathlon) Anaerobic: without oxygen- uses one or both of creatine phosphate or anaerobic glycolysis for short duration and high intensity for strength/power athletes. Skill development is enhance through practice or coaching. Success related to fitness levels achieved though sport specific training. Training and good health are essential to excellent performance. Proper nutrition during recovery period is essential for replenishing depleted nutrient stores.
