Sports Nutrition
Sports nutrition focuses on enhancing performance, recovery, and overall health through tailored dietary strategies. The goal is to fuel training, prevent injuries, and support peak performance.
Why Sports Nutrition Matters
Nutrition is a key driver of performance, recovery, and long-term health. With the right strategies, athletes and active individuals can train harder, recover faster, and reduce the risk of injury.
Performance & Training
Even mild dehydration (as little as 2% body weight loss) can impair endurance and cognitive performance.
Recovery & Injury Prevention
Protein intake of 20–30g after training has been shown to optimise muscle repair and reduce soreness.
Weight & Body Composition
Up to 50% of athletes attempt weight manipulation during their careers, often without safe guidance — increasing the risk of under-fuelling.
Long-Term Health
Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) affects around 1 in 3 athletes at some point, leading to fatigue, hormonal changes, and higher injury risk.
