diet

There is a rich history of success in sports performance in India. From 1920 onwards, India has sent athletes to every Summer Olympic Games. Nutrition is a key element in promoting the need for power, reducing fatigue and increasing recovery efforts as well as optimal health of all people. Specific sport types, differences in training frequency, intensity or duration, age, state of well-being, lifestyle, religion, economics and Social Status can affect the amount of energy, macronutrients, micronutrients and fluids required. To ensure the minimum requirements are met, and to follow minimal instructions, athletes may be able to maximise performance and minimise disease or injury to maintain optimal health.
