The Professional Master’s Degree High Performance in Sports of TECH educates professionals to guide the dietary plan of people who perform this type of sporting activity

Nutrition is one of the many factors on which sports performance depends, so there is the branch of sports nutrition, which considers the basic criteria of a balanced diet during the day-to-day, to cope with loads of training and promote recovery.

All sports need a nutritional dietary intervention, but those that are particularly important are those of more than two hours duration and high intensity such as trails, ultras-trails, marathons, middle and long distance triathlons, where the food strategy will be key to supply energy throughout the test, since the energy deposits from carbohydrates are limited and having studied a dietary pattern will ensure performance until the end of the routine.

Considering the above, a balanced diet is one that covers all macro and micronutrient needs, supplies sufficient energy, does not lead to fat accumulation, is as varied as possible, and includes all important food groups such as cereals, vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, eggs, nuts, dairy products and olive oil, and is appealing to the palate for incorporation into daily life.
