What type of food and supplements do athletes need?


Aside from food, supplements are an important part of nutrition for an athlete, as can be seen by the samples of some provided to students at the Bukit Jalil Sports School in Selangor in this filepic.

Nutrition plays a pivotal role in the lives of athletes, not only by enhancing their performance, but also by facilitating recovery and promoting overall health.

The right balance of nutrients can make the difference between good and great performance, swift or sluggish recovery, and long-term health or chronic issues.
