Micronutrients in Athletic Health | Spotlight Sports Solutions Study Group

Описание: While macronutrients fuel performance, micronutrients quietly drive the countless physiological processes that keep athletes healthy, resilient, and ready to compete. In this week’s Spotlight Sports Solutions Study Group, we focus on the critical role of vitamins and minerals—covering both water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins, as well as essential minerals.

We break down how micronutrients function in the human body, their role in energy metabolism, recovery, and immunity, and why deficiencies can have serious performance consequences.

✅ Water-soluble vitamins: roles of B-vitamins and vitamin C in energy and recovery
✅ Fat-soluble vitamins: vitamins A, D, E, and K in bone health, vision, and immunity
✅ Essential minerals: calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and more
✅ How athletes can identify and address common deficiencies
✅ Practical strategies for food-first nutrition and supplementation when needed

💬 Topics Covered:

Distinctions between water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins

The importance of mineral balance in hydration, muscle contraction, and oxygen delivery

Risks of over-supplementation in fat-soluble vitamins and minerals

Evidence-based guidance on when supplementation may be necessary

Everyday food examples that provide a micronutrient-rich diet
