Abstract

This research investigates how soccer professionals can recover better through nutrition by examining the ways their bodies use nourishment. The study reviews how different nutrients including carbohydrates and proteins boost muscle repair and help athletes regain their energy supplies. Right after training players should consume carbs and protein because it helps muscle repair and energy storage while boosting muscle building. This article explains how adding omega-3 fatty acids to your diet with proper hydration and daily micronutrient intake reduces inflammation plus strengthens your bones and muscles. The research shows every athlete needs their own customized nutritious plan to meet their training needs, playing position, and overall health requirements. Professional soccer players need proper nutrition to stay healthy and perform better while decreasing their chance of injuries plus advancing their skill development over time. The right eating plan boosts soccer player recovery by helping their muscles heal plus restores glycogen while minimizing post-game inflammation. Research shows that mixtures of carbohydrates and protein consumed within 30 minutes of exercise increase muscle recovery and restore muscle fuel stores. Eating carbohydrates from fruits pasta and sports drinks helps players restore muscle glycogen stores that get used up during hard workouts. Our muscles need 10 to 20 grams of protein right after exercise to promote growth and repair. People seeking recovery from physical activities should consume omega-3 fatty acids in fish and flaxseed because these nutrients aid healing and minimize inflammation.
