Abstract:
Sport Nutrition is a constantly evolving field with hundreds of research paper published annually. Despite over 50 years of research the field of sport nutrition continues to grow at a rapid rate. Nutrition is an important of sport performance for young athletes in addition to allowing for optimal growth and development macro-nutrient, micro nutrient and fluids in the full amount are essential to provide energy for growth and activity to optimize performance young athletes need to learn when how to eat and drink before during and after activity. An overview of our understanding of the ergogenic value of nutrition and dietary supplementation in regards to weight loss and performance enhancement. Emerging data in the last decade has demonstrated how both macro-micro nutrients availability can play a prominent role in regulating those signaling pathway that modulate Skeletal muscle adaptation to endurance and resistance training. Nonetheless, in the context of exercise performance, it is clear that carbs (but not fat) still remains King and that carefully chosen ergogenic aids (e.g. Caffiene, creatine, sodium bicarbonate, nitrate) all promote performance in the correct exercise setting. Emerging evidence also suggest that vitamin D may play a regulatory role in muscle regeneration Sport nutrition is a young scientific field. Little is known about prevalence and motives of supplement use elite young athletes who compete national or international current survey was performed to asses information regarding the past and present use of supplement among 164 young athletes (16.6± 30 years of age). Common supplements are ergogenic aids, vitamin enriched water, branched chain amino acid and glutamine were linked to Improving diet and immune function protein powder, sport bars, sport gels plants extract and fatty acids were primarily associated with health reason, particularly immune sport young athletes using dietary supplement safely and effectively Nutraceutical are commonly used to enhance and improve health and performance of athletes. The nutraceutical is fat burner conjugated linolenic acid (CLA) (EFAS) creatine, whey protein glutmine Tribulus terrestris, (HMB) and cordyceps. The survey showed that 82.2% of athletes were using sport supplements among which 60.6% were male athletes.
