Abstract

Statement of the problem: While athletes are generally very studious about their protein, fat, and carbohydrate nutrition, micronutrition can sometimes be overlooked or misinterpreted. Presentation Goal: The goal of this presentation is to help all kinds of athletes optimize their micronutrition through food and supplements. An analysis of energy metabolism and how micronutrients make up certain metabolic proteins will be detailed in appropriate depth, the “Micronutrient Kreb’s Cycle” will be a highlight of this section. Afterwards, erythrocyte proliferation and function through micronutrition and it’s influence on muscular health will be explored. To finish, lesser-known sports nutritional therapies will be presented for the concerning athlete to explore. Relevant Studies 1. Gropper SAS, Smith JL, Carr TP.
