| description | In recent years, nutrition applied to the sport has had a great response from technicians and science, justifying more and more the use of the support of food supplements, especially when considering elite athletes and/or professionals. The term combat sport refers to a varied and heterogeneous group of sporting activities, some recognized by the International Olympic Committee, others not; many aspects unite them. They are considered “minor” sports if compared to football, basketball, baseball, as they are less popular at a professional level, but with a great deal of participation at the amateur level; in this sense, everything concerning nutrition and food supplementation is often delegated to the practitioners themselves. This work would like to resume the current (however not abundant) literature and suggest a correct integration, based on the literature available even if not sport-specific, providing a tool for technicians and a starting point for specific works in the future. |
