This review looked at the nutritional needs of table tennis athletes. It focused on how specific nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats provide the necessary energy for intense training and competition. The review also highlighted the importance of hydration and key micronutrients such as iron, magnesium, and vitamin D.
The findings suggest that a balanced diet is essential to meet the physical demands of the sport. By following specific guidelines for macronutrients and minerals, athletes may better manage their energy consumption during matches. These recommendations are based on the physiological needs of the sport rather than individual clinical trials.
Because these are general nutritional suggestions, they are intended as a guide for athletes. The results show how diet supports performance but do not replace personalized medical advice. Athletes should talk to a healthcare professional or nutritionist to create a specific plan tailored to their personal health needs.
