Muscles that exercise need food to nourish them. Latest research also emphasizes the importance of proteins and carbohydrates for building muscle and increasing endurance during training. The first step before training is to get enough carbohydrates. An athlete who does not consume carbohydrates while training can be compared to a car without gas. Carbohydrates provide the primary fuel for working muscles and balancing blood sugar levels. The fuller the glycogen stores in the muscles, the longer the body will be resistant and will not feel fatigue or exhaustion.
Performance is higher
• The more effective the training is. its effectiveness is at the maximum level,
• It has a high level of concentration and attention,
• The rate of disease and injury is low, the recovery period in these cases is short,
• Its growth and development are at the expected level.
• Body weight and body fat are at or close to recommended limits.
The most important goals in sports nutrition are; To protect the general health of the athlete and increase his performance. In case of insufficient energy intake through food for a long time, the energy required by the athlete is provided from fat stores in the body. In this case, along with weight loss, there is also a decrease in muscle tissue, and performance decreases with the loss of strength and endurance. If energy is consumed excessively with food for a long time, weight gain (increase in the amount of fat in the body) is observed and in athletes who are above the recommended body weight; Performance decreases by restricting movement ability.
