NUTRITION

Our specialists will cover and guide you through both fundamental concepts and more advanced physiological and biochemical basis of nutrition and its application to sports performance.

​​​

Nutrient Categorization: Understanding the basic categories of nutrients—carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals—and their roles in athletic performance and overall health.

​

Macronutrient Balancing: How to balance macronutrients (carbs, proteins, fats) in their diet to meet their energy needs and support different training goals, such as muscle gain or fat loss.

​

Micronutrient Importance: The roles of essential vitamins and minerals in supporting metabolic processes, immune function, and energy production, and how to ensure adequate intake through diet.

​

Energy Systems: Insight into how different energy systems (e.g., aerobic vs. anaerobic) are fueled by different nutrients and how to tailor nutrition strategies to support specific types of exercise. Where does lactate come from and how can ir be used?

​

Digestion and Absorption: How the body digests and absorbs nutrients, including the impact of digestive health on nutrient utilization and overall performance.

​

Hydration and Electrolytes: The importance of hydration and how electrolytes maintaining fluid balance and performance, with strategies to prevent dehydration and maximize performance.

​

Meal Timing and Frequency: Strategies for timing meals and snacks around training sessions and competitions to maximize energy levels, enhance recovery, and improve performance.

​

Metabolism and Energy Expenditure: Understanding how metabolism works, including basal metabolic rate (BMR), carbohydrate and fat utilization during exercise, 

​

Nutritional Strategies for Recovery: How to use nutrition to speed up recovery, including post-exercise meal composition and timing to replenish glycogen stores, repair muscle tissue, and reduce inflammation.

​

Biochemistry of Nutrition: Detailed insights into how macronutrients are utilized, and processed by the body to support overall health and physiological functions.
