Abstract:
Impetus of this particular study was line up to discern the male & female athlete nutrition and nutrition knowledge. Sport nutrition is specialism within the arm of nutrition that cohort intimately with the study of human body and exercise science. To fully recognize and subsequently apply sport nutrition concept, professionals instructing athlete on proper eating scenario. The motive of that sharp end to guage nutrition knowledge. By highlighting gaps in nutrition knowledge of these athlete sport nutrition professionals may begin to address these cracks by educating athlete with a view toward minimum injury & magnifying sport performance. The coast to coast knowledge score was 33.2% (+12.3%) men scored 28.2% (+ 12.7%) & women 38.7% (+ 14.2%). The coach was citied by 89.9% of athlete as the main source of nutrition in formation. The scrutinize manifested that the sport nutrition proficiency of these athlete is inadequate. But in wake of that further swap are turn out in nutrition knowledge. Male and female athlete tangled at each end of exercise, strength, weight lifting to endurance running, cycling & swimming. GONE are those days of propound the dietary practices drew on anecdotal observation or experience. Sport nutrition practices together with high carbohydrates diets and CHO chug during exercise training with glycogen stores, chug of high dose of antioxidant supplements and protein chug post exercise many influence the immune system, status in athlete. In order to popup robust immunity, athlete need to slug a well-balanced diet that is ample to bump into their requirement for energy, CHO, protein, fat and micronutrients. Habitual CHO intake is life and death for male & female athletes, to ensure preduring and post work out. Female athlete requires 3 _ 12 g/wt-kg carbs and male athlete stationary carb 45_65%. dietary protein slightly up lifted in case of strength, speed and endurance training. female athlete needs 1, 41_ 1.71g of protein per kg of body weight. Male athlete needs 1.2_2g/wt-kg. Timing of protein is important. Fat requirement swing in male and female athlete. Female athlete need fat 20-25% daily and male requirement of fat is 20 35% mostly female athletes are iron scanty due to exercise induced mechanism & menstruation. Iron requirements for male & female athlete 10-15mg/day. Both athletes require hydration to replace fluid lost in sweat. Female athlete should consume 4 liter water per day & male athlete should consume 5.7liter per day. Both should require electrolytes like zinc, magnesium, sodium, potassium, calcium & iron for extensive activity. because during vigorous work out, these electrolytes are lost through sweat and have risk of fatigue, nerve impulsive & muscle cramp, spasm, CHO supply muscle with glucose required & protein for muscle building to prop up pinnacle gig. And some crucial vitamins should be consumed such as vitamin C, E, B- carotene and B12 for span function.
