Abstract
There are many books and scientific papers in the world, but there is not a single diet or exercise treatment that can be common denominator and not a single formula for everyone’s health. Nutrition has been linked to performance and health far back in ancient Greece where Hippocrates said “If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to healthâ€. Therefore today we are striving on getting the best nutrition to make the best performance we can with our body and mind. What athletes should eat and how much of macro and micro elements should contain the meal is not a subject of unification but it will depend on the athlete’s sport, the amount and type of training. The nutritional education of the athletes is also very important but the fact of their knowledge stays marginal compared with the growing awareness for proper nutrition. The need of real education about sports nutrition is more than urgent for all of the athletes, sport associates, coaches, sport recreationists and everyone involved in the sport for best performance and best health.
