30% Fats
10 – 15%
15% Protein
Gm/kg BW
The field of sport nutrition has departed from
calculating macronutrients requirements as a
percentage of the total energy requirement to
instead focus on determining requirements
expressed as grams per kilogram (g/kg) body
weight (BW).
The g/kg BW requirement ensures that adequate
macronutrients are provided in respect of total
energy intake and that there is some flexibility
when it is necessary to individualise nutrition
plans according to specific training regimes.

Maximum
endurance time:
High-carbohydrate diet
167 min
Carbohydrate
Carbohydrate is the optimal fuel for exercise
Primary source for power & high intensity exercise
( more than 70 % vo2
vo2 max)
Prolonged and intermittent, intense training
depletes carbohydrate (glycogen) stores resulting
in poor performance and fatigue.
Consume carbohydrate with every meal.
Body has limited capacity to store CHO ( in
muscles and liver), so must be replenished
regularly

Carbohydrate
Carbohydrate
It is recommended that athletes
obtain a greater proportion of
energy in their diet from
carbohydrate
Athletes should ingest 6 to 12
gm/kg/day
Complex carbohydrate are
preferable
Carbohydrate requirement
depends on training load (
frequency, intensity and duration)

Protein:
rotein:
Dietary protein requirements are elevated with
strength or endurance training
There are increased requirements in the case of
strength or resistance training because protein
supports :
Muscle protein synthesis
Reduces muscle protein breakdown
Repairs muscle damage
Food is the easiest, most effective, and least
costly way to meet protein needs
Exercise intensity and duration, gender and age
also influence protein requirements
Protein
If an athlete's diet contain too little CHO, protein
from the diet will be used to provide energy. This
is not desirable as protein should be available for
forming and repairing muscle tissue which is the
main function of protein
Because athletes generally eat more to meet their
energy requirements so, they are likely meet their
protein needs by choosing a balanced diet
Eating more protein than the body needs does not
increase the amount or the size of the muscles in
the body
Consume extra protein not needed by the body is
burned for energy or stored as fat
١٣

Protein
Amount :
Type of activity Gm/kg/day
Non athletes 0.8 – 1.2
It is recommended that these
Endurance athletes 1.2- 1.4 requirements are reached
through diet alone. Additional
Strength and speed athletes 1.4- 1.8
supplementation is not
Maximum for adult athletes 1-2 necessary, especially when
the energy intake is optimal
Adolescent athletes Up to 2
١٤
٢٠/١١/١٤٤٣
Fat
Source of stored energy, burned mostly during
low-
low-level activity and when other sources are not
available
It is important to consume adequate amounts of
fat to ensure optimal health, maintenance of
energy balance,
balance, optimal intake of essential fatty
acids and fat-
fat-soluble vitamins
vitamins,, as well as to
replenish intramuscular triacylglycerol stores.
The amount of required fat depends largely on the
training status and goals of the athletes
Availability of CHO and aerobic condition are
essential for fat oxidation to produce energy
Fat
20 to 35%
35% of total calories should come from fat
High fat diet →low CHO diet which lead to
decrease endurance due to depletion of muscle
glycogen
Fat restriction less than 20%→fail
20%→fail to consume
adequate energy and nutrient (fat soluble
vitamins)
In general 0.5-1.5gm/kg/d is adequate
Less than 10%
10% of total calories should come from
saturated fats
Cholesterol intake should be less than 300 mg/day

HYDRATION
Hydration
Proper fluid intake before, during and after
training or competition is the simplest practice
to maximize performance
Yet, proper hydration is often overlooked or
ignored
Serious consequences on performance and
health result from improper fluid intake,
especially when exercising in warm
environments

Sport drinks
Sports drinks are
beverages whose stated
purpose is to help
athletes replace water,
electrolytes and energy
during training or
competition
Sports drinks can be split
into three major types

Meal planning
٢٢

Meal planning
Fill the ¾ of your dish with
diet rich in carbohydrates,
carbohydrates,
such as vegetables, fruit,
grains and breads
Fill the other quarter with
food rich in protein low in fat
such as low fat fish, low-
low-fat
chicken breast,
breast, low-
low-fat lean
red meat, legumes and low fat
dairy products
Pre--exercise meal
Pre
Importance :
Provide adequate fuel supplies primarily
carbohydrate in the blood and muscles
Provide adequate amount of water
Help to avoid sensations of hunger or
fatigue
Allow the stomach to be relatively empty at
the start of competition
Help to prevent or minimize gastrointestinal
stress
٢٣
٢٠/١١/١٤٤٣
Pre--exercise meal
Pre
Preparation :
Provide athlete with foods he/she likes
Choose foods high in carbohydrate, moderate in
protein and low in fat providing for easy digestibility
Avoid simple sugars and high glycemic index food
to avoid high insulin release causing hypoglycemia
Avoid gas forming food (beans, onions and cabbage
family
Avoid spicy and bulk food
Avoid foods and drinks that contain caffeine.
Caffeine stimulates the body to increase urine
output, which can contribute to dehydration
problems, and a full bladder can be very
uncomfortable
Pre--exercise meal
Pre
Varies from person to person
Varies from sport to sport
Each athlete has to learn through trial and
error
Tried and true favorites
Physiologically comfortable

CHO in pre-
pre-exercise meal
Aim :
Less hunger before and during exercise
Maintains optimum glycogen stores which
is usually depleted with high intensity or
long duration exercise
Delay fatigue and help to increase
performance during exercise session
CHO in pre-
pre-exercise meal
Recommendations :
Emphasize complex CHO
1 to 4 gm /kg
/kg about 1 to 4 hours prior to the
events usually low glycemic index
Consume less closure to the event
Early morning training before eating or
drinking lead to decrease liver glycogen and
impair performance especially in endurance
training
٢٦
٢٠/١١/١٤٤٣
During exercise
For a training session that lasts less than one
hour, water is sufficient
When exercising for more than one hour, consider
a sports drink
This will help replenish some of the lost
carbohydrate burned for energy as well as
electrolytes (notably sodium) lost in sweat
Commercially sold sports drinks (gatorade
(gatorade,,
powerade)) are concentrated 4-6%
powerade
You can make your own sports drink by mixing
fruit with water and adding a pinch of salt

Recovery
RECOVERY
Workouts and Recovery involves
competitions deplete reloading carbohydrate
your glycogen stores fuel stores, repairing and
building new muscle
Muscle tissue gets tissue, and rehydrating
damaged as you train
Recovery doesn’t start
and compete, and
after exercise until you
requires repair
provide your body the
Your muscles also are components it needs:
being stimulated to Carbohydrates
adapt to your training
workload Protein
Fluids and sodium
