Sports Nutrition ABOUT ELITE SPORTS MEDICINE Elite Sports Medicine (ESM) is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary program geared to the student athlete ages 10 to 30. Athletes rarely have a single medical problem, yet the specialization of care often causes fragmented or incomplete medical care to occur. ESM works to reduce this risk by combining multiple disciplines in one location allowing for the treatment of the entire athlete.
NUTRITION IS IMPORTANT IN ENHANCING ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE A comprehensive nutritional assessment and evaluation is done according to each athlete’s individual needs and specific sport. • Hydration for athletes • Fuel to build muscle • Meal planning for high performance • Weight management strategies • Evaluating energy drinks and sports foods • Pre, during and post fueling for optimal performance • Essentials about vitamins and supplementation • Eating on the road for athletes • Optimal vegetarian guidelines • Grocery shopping and cooking for busy athletes
Balanced nutrition for the athlete maximizes daily energy and improves exercise performance. Learning these skills leads to life long health. WE ARE COMMITTED TO YOU Elite Sports Medicine Our providers specialize in sports medicine. Our team of professionals have experience in treating athletes of all levels.
