Abstract | [Extract] The aim of this chapter is to "set the scene" for sports nutrition guidelines, from which other chapters in this book can draw. Since there are very few scientific studies specifically undertaken on athletes with an impairment, this chapter will outline the guidelines developed for able-bodied athletes and highlight areas that may need adapting for athletes with an impairment. Subsequent chapters will further explore the reasons why adaptations may be necessary and outline solutions. The process of developing individualised periodised approaches from general guidelines is no different for athletes with an impairment than it is for able-bodied athletes. Practitioners should aim to develop a sound knowledge of the events in which their athletes compete so that the specific physiological requirements, practical challenges and culture of the sport can be appreciated and integrated into the sports nutrition plan. Finally, the plan must be fine-tuned to the individual through practise and feedback. |
