Description

Dietary supplementation is being increasingly applied by athletes to maintain physical condition and improve performance. This brief review summarizes the classification and role of nutritional ergogenics in the requirements for energy, protein/amino acids, vitamins and minerals in sports. Guidelines are shown for the theory, effectiveness, safety, legal and ethical aspects to evaluate the claims made for ergogenic aids. Recommendations for using dietary supplements during a program of weight reduction, during vigorous training, and before and during exercise are described. The aspects of nutritional education and dietary support for the suitable use of supplements by young and adult athletes, and the role of sports dietitians are briefly described.
