Sports nutrition by sport - special features

Every sport has specific requirements for sports nutrition and energy supply before, during and after exercise. The differences are specific, but in principle they only differ in terms of the different focuses. Explosive strength sports and sports with a short-term but high level of exertion (anaerobic profiles) benefit more from the correct nutrition before and after exercise. Aerobic sports with a longer-lasting exertion should also be correctly supplied with energy during exercise with a higher weight.

  • Carbohydrates as the main energy source
  • Sufficient protein intake
  • Fats for long-lasting energy
  • Fluid intake and electrolytes
  • Timing of food intake
  • Choice of sports nutrition during the competition
  • Individual adjustments
