Sports Nutrition: Fueling Peak Performance

Why Nutrition Matters for Sport

Glycogen and Endurance: Muscle carbohydrate stores are depleted during intense activity; refueling is key for marathoners, cyclists, and field sport players.

Protein Power: Muscle repair, tendon strength, and recovery—all depend on adequate protein intake, especially after injury or surgery.

Micronutrients and Hydration: Bangalore’s hot, humid conditions increase sweat losses of sodium, potassium, and magnesium. Inadequate replacement can ruin training and trigger cramps.

Personalized Nutrition Strategies

Assessment: Dietitians at 5 Sports Health conduct nutrition analysis, tailored meal plans, and easy-to-follow guidance for active lifestyles.

Smart Timing: Pre- and post-exercise meals are designed for endurance, muscle building, or recovery goals.

Supplement Advice: Evidence-based use of essentials (vitamin D, B12, omega-3, turmeric for anti-inflammation) counters deficiencies and supports joint/bone health.

Performance & Injury Recovery

Nutritional Rehab: Collagen, vitamin C, and sufficient protein fast-track ligament and tendon healing. Dr. Pooja Jhade, with her expertise in posture correction and rehabilitation, emphasizes how proper nutrition complements physical therapy for quicker recovery.

Game-Day Tips: Hydration and slow/fast carbs fuel both amateur matches and professional tournaments.

Local Food Guidance: Incorporating Indian staples—ragi, dal, seasonal fruits—blends tradition with sports science.
