Sports nutrition refers to the practice of adhering to a nourishing diet and consuming nutrient-dense items to support the training objectives and routines of individuals engaged in physical activities. This category encompasses a diverse range of items, including sports drinks, isotonic beverages, protein supplements, dietary enhancements, and protein bars. These products are carefully formulated to cater to the heightened energy requirements of vigorous physical exertion and exercise, thereby enhancing performance and aiding in various fitness objectives, such as building lean muscle mass or enhancing body composition. Additionally, they contribute to the recovery process during and after sports activities like athletics, workouts, and bodybuilding. Furthermore, sports nutrition plays a role in mitigating the effects of physical fatigue and injuries while promoting overall health and well-being. These items are composed of a blend of macronutrients (such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats), micronutrients (including vitamins and minerals), and other functional components like caffeine, creatine, and beta-alanine.
