We’ll upload these tips to Málaga CF’s social media periodically. This opening session features advice on nutrition. The source of energy is key to the correct functioning and maintenance of the body.
- We are what we eat:
It’s not easy to achieve 100% correct nutrition, as there’s such a large number of processed foods that invade our daily lives. However, it’s crucial to give priority to natural foods, which are key to effective nutrition for performance and injury prevention. Similarly, you have to pay close attention to hydration, which is essential to avoid muscle fatigue.
This is applicable to all athletes regardless of their level: A certain professional activity may have specific nutritional requirements, but for an amateur athlete it will be enough to follow a balanced diet and ensure proper hydration. In the case of elite athletes, as their requirements will be higher, they will have a greater reliance on the correct diet for the development of their activity, which is why they typically require monitoring by a physician.
