Supplements
while also being
appropriate to the
athlete's age and
maturation in their
sport. " Valid reasons
for recommending
supplements
can include: the
management of
micronutrient
deficiencies, supply of convenient forms of energy
and macronutrients, provision of direct benefits to
performance or indirect benefits such as supporting
intense training regimens.
FOOD-FIRST PHILOSOPHY
While nutrient intake research is limited some studies
suggest competitive and elite athletes' diets fall short
of meeting calorie, carbohydrate, vitamin and mineral
requirements. Athletes who may be at risk for dietary
deficiencies include those with clinical issues such as anemia;
vegetarians, vegans, or athletes on restrictive diets with
allergies, food sensitivities, or personal aversions where
whole food groups are eliminated or avoided like dairy, whole
grains, vegetables; athletes with eating disorders or who are
undernourished due to low-calorie dieting or those trying to
make weight for sport e.g., jockeys, wrestlers, rowers, boxers;
athletes taking prescription medications, older master level
athletes or those with spinal-cord injury.
When athletes do not meet minimal dietary needs,
performance suffers, recovery is hastened, and illness and
injury are potential consequences. Supplements used to
correct and manage deficiencies include iron, Vitamin D
and calcium.
Other supplements may be recommended for
meeting energy needs pre, during and post-training
and competition. These supplements provide practical,
portable sources of carbohydrates, protein and electrolytes
such as shakes, sports beverages, bars, gels, and chews.
Supplements which may enhance performance directly
in some athletes include caffeine, creatine, nitrates, beta
alanine and sodium bicarbonate.
