ASUHAN GIZI UNTUK ATLET DAN PARA ATLET DI TIM NASIONAL INDONESIA

Abstract

The nutritional care process is an effort to provide comprehensive services for athletes which includes history taking, nutritional status measurement, nutritional diagnosis, nutritional intervention, monitoring and evaluation aimed at ensuring nutritional status to support the health and performance of athletes. Measurement of nutritional status in athletes requires an understanding of interpretations and normal standards that are different from the non-athlete group. Different sports will also affect the interpretation, including when calculating the nutritional needs of para-athletes. Type of disability, weight correction is a factor that will affect the determination of nutritional needs for para-athletes. Nutritionists must be able to provide appropriate education for all stakeholders involved in handling athletes. Food service for athletes is the spearhead of the success of the entire series of nutritional care processes, so that the quality and quantity of food for athletes is guaranteed. Good nutritional care will have a positive impact on the process of changing body composition, nutritional status, and athlete performance. This will provide a great achievement for the Indonesian national athletes in the international arena.
