Everyone
needs good nutrition, bearing in mind also that everyone is an individual, and as a result requirements for specific nutrients vary
greatly. For an athlete, optimal performance is of the utmost
importance and without adequate nutrition, success may dwindle.
A
tennis player requires enough energy to sustain repeated moderate to
maximal intensity activity (e.g. sprinting and jumping) with
intermittent often limited rest periods to accommodating optimal
performance. The following links within the references detail macronutrient, micronutrient
and fluid roles and consumption regarding a tennis player.
If
you’re in need of further nutritional information, contact Anthony Webb to arrange an appointment with Innovate Nutritional consultant Dr Nenad Naumovski.
