Proper nutrition and training during the growthand development phase of life help improve the athletes' performance. Training has to be formulated according to the principles ofperiodization to achieve the best possible performance. Long-term training and participating in competitions brought changes withinthe sports persons. Regular monitoring of athletes' anthropometric, physical fitness and physiological variables provides valuableinformation about their fitness, health, metabolic and cardio-respiratory status. This would enable the coaches to assess the currentstatus of the athletes and the degree of training adaptability and provide an opportunity to modify the training schedule accordinglyto achieve the desired performance. Exercise physiologists suggest optimal training strategies to enhance athletic performance. Thedemand for an athlete's success and fitness awareness within society increases the responsibility of exercise physiologists to optimizeathletes' sports performance, health, and safety.
