Features of the organization of rational nutrition of students during mass physical culture and sports

Abstract

This article explores the problem of proper nutrition in the life of a modern student leading an active lifestyle. This problem is especially relevant at the present time, because the modern student has become even more purposeful and active. And this means that at the moment, proper nutrition of young people is the most important problem that needs to be addressed. Consider the basics of nutrition in physical education and sports, and analyze the nutritional requirements of students involved in physical education and sports. The article also substantiates the need for a balanced diet when playing sports, and reveals the features of the organization of the diet, depending on the intensity of physical activity. Based on the assessment of the frequency of consumption of vital foodstuffs, the diet of КubGТU students is analyzed. The study involved 60 students aged 20 to 22 years. The following results were obtained: the nutrition of the majority of students is irrational, with insufficient consumption of healthy food. In most cases, fast food products are popular. The conducted study of the relationship between nutrition, working capacity and lifestyle characteristics of students convinces us that violations of healthy eating habits negatively affect the degree of working capacity and increase the likelihood of bad habits. All this indicates a low culture of proper nutrition and the need for special events that highlight this issue. Proper nutrition is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle, and is especially important for people who lead an active lifestyle and play sports. Failure to follow a proper diet can lead to reduced physical endurance, a weakened immune system, and even injury during exercise. It is important to understand that each athlete has their own individual nutritional needs, depending on their physiological characteristics, sport, training level and other factors. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an individual diet, taking into account all these factors. For student athletes, it is especially important to follow the right diet in order to maintain their mental and physical tone and achieve high results both in school and in sports. To do this, it is necessary to pay due attention to the composition of food, the choice of products and the mode of eating. In addition, it is important to remember to drink enough water, as athletes lose a lot of fluid during training, and water deficiency can lead to dehydration, reduced physical endurance and other health problems. Our study determined the diet of student athletes based on data obtained from the survey.
