A sprinters diet...?

Question

i have never understood if sprinters need to eat extremely healthy or just get the protein and calories into them as much as possible. what is the best foods to eat? what is an elite sprinters food choice?

Answer 1

Sprinting is an anaerobic exercise, meaning that it consists of short bursts of high intensity contractions. This is why sprinters are, in general, bulkier in muscle than cross-country runners. Thus, protein is an extremely vital part of the sprinters' diet.

Depending on the intensity of your workout regime, your calorie intake can be heightened, but these calories should come from good sources. You don't have to be fastidious about consuming just organics, or just fruits and vegetables, but those calories should be based on logical, healthy choices.
