Abstract
This current study analyzed nutrition and dietary structure of swimming athletes to clarify issues in nutrition and dietary structure of swimming athletes, based on which we designed achievable nutrition and diet strategies to equip the swimming athletes with the tools to achieve an adequate sport nutrition which helps them improve results. Firstly, we collected literatures about nutrition and diet of swimming athletes. Secondly, 40 swimming athletes were assigned to the test group and the control group to receive follow-up for 8 weeks. Twenty were provided with proper diet and calcium and vitamin supplements. Twenty athletes in the control group failed to reach standard expected for a swimming athlete due to inadequate intake of multiple nutrients. Twenty athletes in the test group reached to relevant standards. The athletes in the test group also achieved better performance than those in the control group. Proper nutrition and dietary structure not only substantially improve physical fitness but also improve performance of swimming athletes.
Highlights
Proper Nutrition and Dietary Structure (NDS) are necessary to improve physical fitness and performance of athletes
Literature collection: Literatures related to energy consumption and NDS of swimming athletes were collected via network or library, which laid solid theoretical foundation
The effectiveness of proper NDS for athletes was analyzed by comparison of the results of body weight, composition and performance between the test group and control group
Summary
Proper Nutrition and Dietary Structure (NDS) are necessary to improve physical fitness and performance of athletes. They are directly associated with performance of swimming athletes. More importance has been attached to NDS of athletes. Issues related to NDS are not rare and substantially impact performance of athletes. It is necessary for athletes to improve NDS to cope with fierce competition. Proper NDS strategy should be developed to help athletes improve fitness and performance (Huang, 2013)
