| Abstract: | The value of different articles of food as sources of energy to athletes is discussed. Carbohydrates are the chief and best sources to be preferred to fats and proteins. The diet of an athlete must be well-balanced to contain essential elements in sufficient proportional quantities to supply required calories. Regular weighing of athletes is important to ascertain that the input is equal to the output. Nutrition and dieting are one of the cardinal mainstones on which depends maximum performance. Proper nutrition of an athlete is as important as the intense training he undergoes. A sound dietary regime is absolutely essential to guarantee maximum physical fitness and consequently performance. |
