Resumo

Nesta edição da Elevate Health, Rachel Kelley, BS, e Stella Volpe, PhD, RD, LDN, FACSM, da Drexel University abordam o importante tópico das recomendações nutricionais para adultos mais velhos em esportes competitivos. À medida que aumenta o número de atletas master, esta área temática torna-se cada vez mais importante. Como a Sra. Kelley e o Dr. Volpe descrevem, a nutrição para atletas masters segue muitos dos mesmos princípios de todos os outros adultos; no entanto, existem algumas diferenças importantes. Dependendo do status do peso e da participação atlética, as necessidades de calorias e proteínas podem diferir. Além disso, existem alguns nutrientes de preocupação especial para atletas idosos, como a vitamina D. É importante ressaltar que os atletas idosos correm o risco de doenças crônicas e declínio funcional, assim como todos os idosos. A orientação fornecida neste documento ajudará os praticantes a orientar os atletas master para melhorar a saúde geral e ajudá-los a atingir seu pleno potencial atlético agora e no futuro.
