SPORTS NUTRITION 16 NOVEMBER 2015 Why Are Good Nutritional Practices Important For Athletes? Enhances Training and Competitive Performances • Provides Adequate Nutrients For Recovery Between Sessions • Maintains Good Health • Sustains Growth & Development • “A Proper Diet Can’t Make An Average Athlete Elite, But A Poor Diet Can Make An Elite Athlete Average” What Are The Issues? • Energy – Macro Nutrient Intakes For Various Sports – Do They Differ? • Hydration – does it affect performance? • Timing – When should athletes eat/drink? Carbohydrates Why Do Athletes Need Them? • Primary fuel source for most groups of athletes • Primary fuel source for endurance athletes is fat but limiting fuel source is carbohydrate CARBOHYDRATES What Are The Foods Sources? Grain Products Vegetables and Fruit Milk Products Extras Carbohydrates –How Much Do Athletes Need? • Endurance Athletes & Athletes Who Train Exhaustively On Successive Days –60-70 % of total energy–If consume high energy diets then need 7-10 g/kg/d • Recreational Athletes & Most Active People – 55-60 % of total energy • Strength Athletes - ~ 55–65% of total energy – Depends on Training Schedule FAT Why Do Athletes Need It? • Provides Fat Soluble Vitamins (A,D, E, K) • Supplies Essential Fatty Acids • Taste • Aids With Satiety • Primary Fuel Source For Endurance Athletes FAT Where Athletes Get It? • Naturally Present In Many Foods – Hidden vs Added Fats • Majority Of Fat In Diet From Fats & Oils – i.e. Butter, Margarine, Salad Dressings, Sauces FAT-too much can slow down the athlete How To Reduce Intake • • • • • Choose Lower Fat Foods i.e. Leaner meats, lower fat dairy products, low fat salad dressings Trim Fat From Meats, Skin From Poultry Prepare Food Without Adding Fat Choose Appropriate Serving Sizes Avoid Adding Fat When Possible i.e. butter, margarine, gravy, mayonnaise, sauces Protein Why do athletes need it? • builds muscle and bone • make enzymes-required for energy and building molecules • to meet all other functions of proteins Protein Where do athletes get it? • Meat and alternatives • Milk and alternatives • Grain products Protein Recommendations Dietary reference intake-for healthy nonathletes – 0.80 grams/kg body weight/day Athletes: – Strength: 1.4-2.0 grams/kg body weight/day – Endurance: 1.2-1.6 grams/kg body weight/day Protein Recommendations How much do athletes need? Example • 80 kg Male • • • Normally Active: 0.80g/kg BW/day~ 64 grams/day Strength Athlete: 1.4-2.0g/kg BW/day ~110-160 g/day Endurance Athlete: 1.2-1.6g/kg BW/day ~ 95-130g/day Protein Recommendations Can You Consume Too Much Protein? No Adverse effects have been reported for Healthy Athletes when Protein intakes are <2.0 g/kg BW/day Water-Why Do Athletes Need It? • Water Assists in the Digestive Process & Elimination of Waste Products • Major Component of Blood • Acts as a Coolant for Working Muscles & Maintains Normal Body Temperature Water-Where Do Athletes Get It? • drinks-water, juices, milks, sports drinks, tea, coffee • semi-solid and solid foods have some water Water-how much do athletes need? • replace what lose-assuming normal water balance to start • normal water balance means sufficient water where and when it is needed in the body • avoid dehydration Fluid Losses Experienced During Training Athletes typically only replace 30-70% of sweat losses during a training session • Therefore, athletes are moderately dehydrated post-exercise • Continued fluid loss in recovery phase: Sweat Urine production • Goal: • Replace fluid lost during training prior to next event Dehydration • • Starts When fluid Loss Exceeds 1% of Body Weight Symptoms: – Headache – Irritability – Fatigue Impact of Dehydration Replacing Fluids During Activity • • • • • Thirst is not a Good Indicator Water is Best Fluid if Activity is Under 1 Hour Activities > 1 hour would benefit from a carbohydrate source (6-10% CHO) Cool Fluid in Small Volumes Drink ~ 125 ml every 10-20 minutes Is Plain Water Enough? Recommendation: • • • • • • Athletes experience >2% loss of body weight from dehydration Consume ~150-200% of volume lost Fluid should contain sodium Also consume some foods containing sodium post-exercise Recommended levels of sodium: 50mmol/Litre Sports Drinks: 10-25 mmol sodium/L Remember: When selecting a fluid for re-hydration, the fluid has to be palatable to the athlete. This has been shown to increase fluid consumption • Vitamins and minerals Why do athletes require them?- to allow their functions Where do athletes get them-in carbohydrate, fat and protein containing foods How much do athletes require-amounts found in sufficient intake of foods containing carbohydrate, fat and protein Supplements are a waste of money PRE-COMPETITION MEALS • Assume a Sound Training Diet Has Been Consumed • Replace Liver Glycogen Stores That Have Become Depleted Over Night Pre-Competition Meals Purpose: • To Prevent Hunger During the Competition • To Assist with Adequate Hydration • To Increase the Physical & Psychological Comfort of the Athlete Pre-Competition Meals Timing 2-4 hours before event to allow adequate digestion • Meal Size ~ 500 kcals • Meal Time ~ 2-4 hours before • Competition – If < 2hours before competition, smaller meal is required Foods Must Be Familiar To The Athlete Pre-Competition Meals Composition: • • • • • • High Carbohydrate Plenty of Fluids Moderate in Protein Content Low in Simple Sugar Content Low in Fibre and Fat Low in Salt & Caffeine Fueling After Action Replace: – Water – Glycogen Stores – Electrolytes (and other minerals) - Plenty of Fluid -1.5 litres of fluid for every kg weight loss - Carbohydrate – Within 2 hours after activity – Fruit, juice, crackers, bagels, lower fat yogurt – Ensure a full meal with adequate intake Nutrition Does Impact Performance!
