Sports Nutrition
Sports nutrition is the foundation of athletic success. A well-designed nutrition plan allows athletes to perform their best. Hart Health works with athletes and sports professionals to develop dietary plans to optimize athletic performance. Sports nutrition plans vary, depending on activity level and specific energy demands. Sports nutrition is also unique to each person and planned according to individual goals.
Nutrition in Athletics
Eating Well + Performance
If a team consumes adequate amounts of micro and macronutrients, they play well together. Consistency, support, and accountability lead to success.
On the flip side, poor nutrition leads to:
Slower recovery
Weaker immune systems
Poor performance
Lower energy
Lack of focus
Delay in muscle repair
Young athletes are often under-fueled, which limits their full potential. This contributes to insufficient muscle growth, limited strength, poor sleeping habits, slower recovery, and lack of energy.
Benefits
Nutrition is a key component to achieving desired body composition. Proper nutrition leads to increased energy levels, a stronger immune system, greater physical strength, and faster recovery.
A body that is adequately fueled can reach its potential safely and sustainably. Proper nutrition is the cornerstone to unlocking peak athletic performance.
