Nutrition is an important part of many sports training regimens, being popular in strength sports (such as\u00a0weightlifting\u00a0and\u00a0bodybuilding) and endurance sports (e.g. cycling,\u00a0running,\u00a0swimming,\u00a0rowing). Sports Nutrition focuses its studies on the type, as well as the quantity of fluids and food taken by an athlete. In addition, it deals with the consumption of nutrients such as vitamins,\u00a0minerals,\u00a0supplements\u00a0and\u00a0organic substances that include carbohydrates,\u00a0proteins\u00a0and\u00a0fats.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;12px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221; padding_bottom=&#8221;40&#8243; padding_top=&#8221;40&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#f7f7f7&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #58a8b1;\">What\u2019s the Difference Between Sports Nutrition and General Nutrition?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;12px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>There seems to be a misconception that sports nutrition is only for elite athletes.

Think of them as gas for your car. You should consume carbs within 30-45 minutes of intense physical activity. They\u2019re easily digestible and convert to glucose quickly for use as fuel. Additionally, many athletes also prefer a pre-workout supplement with ingredients such as caffeine, creatine and nitric oxide precursors.<\/p><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;8px&#8221;]<div class=\"q_box_holder with_icon\" style=\"\"><div class=\"box_holder_icon\"><div class=\"box_holder_icon_inner tiny normal_icon \" style=\"\"><span data-icon-type=\"normal\"   style=\"\" class=\"qode_iwt_icon_holder q_font_awsome_icon fa-lg  \"><i class=\"qode_icon_font_awesome fa  qode_iwt_icon_element\" style=\"\" ><\/i><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"box_holder_inner tiny center\"><h5 class=\"icon_title\" style=\"\">During a Workout<\/h5><span class=\"separator transparent\" style=\"margin: 8px 0;\"><\/span><p style=\"\">During a light to moderate workout, you should drink water, at the very least, and add electrolytes if you need the extra boost. Electrolytes can replace valuable nutrients such as sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium, which are lost through sweat. In a moderate to a vigorous workout, you should consider adding carbohydrates to your electrolytes. This combination will not only replace those valuable nutrients but will continuously supply your muscles with the glucose required to maintain your performance.<\/p><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;8px&#8221;]<div class=\"q_box_holder with_icon\" style=\"\"><div class=\"box_holder_icon\"><div class=\"box_holder_icon_inner tiny normal_icon \" style=\"\"><span data-icon-type=\"normal\"   style=\"\" class=\"qode_iwt_icon_holder q_font_awsome_icon fa-lg  \"><i class=\"qode_icon_font_awesome fa  qode_iwt_icon_element\" style=\"\" ><\/i><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"box_holder_inner tiny center\"><h5 class=\"icon_title\" style=\"\">Post-Workout<\/h5><span class=\"separator transparent\" style=\"margin: 8px 0;\"><\/span><p style=\"\">It is important to feed your muscles after a workout. Typically you want to consume good quality calories within 30-45 minutes after a workout to reap the maximum benefit. Having said that even if you don\u2019t get calories in during that time it doesn\u2019t mean you should skip a post workout meal or shake. Consume between 20 and 40 grams of high-quality protein. The protein can come from whole foods such as chicken or fish; however, many people don\u2019t like eating right after a hard workout so a protein shake is a good solution. A post workout shake can come from dairy (whey or casein) protein or from plant-based sources like soy. Protein rebuilds muscles and ultimately helps to increase lean muscle mass.<\/p><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;8px&#8221;]<div class=\"q_box_holder with_icon\" style=\"\"><div class=\"box_holder_icon\"><div class=\"box_holder_icon_inner tiny normal_icon \" style=\"\"><span data-icon-type=\"normal\"   style=\"\" class=\"qode_iwt_icon_holder q_font_awsome_icon fa-lg  \"><i class=\"qode_icon_font_awesome fa  qode_iwt_icon_element\" style=\"\" ><\/i><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"box_holder_inner tiny center\"><h5 class=\"icon_title\" style=\"\">Eat to Lose Weight<\/h5><span class=\"separator transparent\" style=\"margin: 8px 0;\"><\/span><p style=\"\">Some people who are trying to lose weight think that if they skip a meal after their workout, they\u2019ll drop the weight quicker. Nothing could be further from the truth. As mentioned before, you have to rebuild your muscles with good quality protein after stressing them with exercise. Otherwise, all the hard work you put into your workout could have been for nothing. Rather than increasing your lean muscle mass, depriving your body of much-needed protein for your muscles could actually result in the loss of lean muscle.<\/p><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;8px&#8221;]<div class=\"q_box_holder with_icon\" style=\"\"><div class=\"box_holder_icon\"><div class=\"box_holder_icon_inner tiny normal_icon \" style=\"\"><span data-icon-type=\"normal\"   style=\"\" class=\"qode_iwt_icon_holder q_font_awsome_icon fa-lg  \"><i class=\"qode_icon_font_awesome fa  qode_iwt_icon_element\" style=\"\" ><\/i><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"box_holder_inner tiny center\"><h5 class=\"icon_title\" style=\"\">Rest<\/h5><span class=\"separator transparent\" style=\"margin: 8px 0;\"><\/span><p style=\"\">Make sure you build in a rest day. While you may be consuming adequate nutrients every day, if you are constantly pushing your body to the limit, it won\u2019t have time to really recover and build lean muscle mass unless you give it rest. Have at least one rest day a week built into your schedule.<\/p><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221; background_image=&#8221;492&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;491&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Prefer to whatsapp?
