In people experiencing great physical exertion, nonessential and essential amino acids in the diet should be contained in certain proportions. Unfortunately, our usual diet does not provide the body with a sufficient amount of easily digestible proteins, especially amino acids, in the required ratio. Therefore, with increased muscular activity, there is a need for additional protein nutrition or the use of special products of increased biological value (with the optimal content of essential amino acids, vitamins, mineral salts, etc.).
The main function of proteins is to form and repair the tissues and cells of the body. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy needed by the body during heavy physical exertion. Fats are the second most important source of energy. During physical activity, more proteins, carbohydrates and fats are required than in their absence.
With high physical exertion, it is desirable to use 5-6 meals a day. Such nutrition is more physiological. The first breakfast is 5%, the second breakfast is 30%, additional meals after training are 5%, lunch is 30%, afternoon tea is 5%, dinner is 25% of the daily calorie content. The volume of food should not be too large: for 70 kg of body weight from 3 to 3.5 kg of food per day. Fruits and vegetables should make up 10-15% of the diet.
If you've done a good physical job but haven't eaten for 5 hours, your blood glucose levels drop so much that exercise becomes excessive. If there are no obvious painful sensations, it still negatively affects endurance and the ability to concentrate in the process of exercising. Try to eat within two hours of finishing class.
