PDHPE Nutrition Plan
I have chosen football for this dietary study. Football requires high energy foods as a high energy level is needed for endurance.
For an average teenage boy, the fluid requirement for optimum health stands at 2.6 Litres a day.
The amount of water needed during exercise is around 250ml or one and a half glasses of water every 15 minutes of exercise. If this amount is not met, dehydration may occur causing headaches and in extreme cases, vomiting.
The fluid intake of a footballer must be increased by 115% while the food intake must be increased by only 30%.
A footballer requires 5.6 Litres of water each day.
A footballers diet should be:
- High in energy for endurance
- High in carbohydrates to provide glucose for respiration.
- High in protein for muscle development
- Low in fat
- Must include lots of fruit and Vegetables
Oranges are high in:
- Nutrients
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin B1
- Vitamin A
- Potassium
- Calcium
- Fibre
All these are important in the ideal diet of a footballer.
