[Sports nutrition as a model of maximum individualization and implementation of integrative medicine]

Nutrition is the basis for the implementation of sports activities. Federal Research Centre of Nutrition and Biotechnology, as the main institution of the Russian Federation that conducts scientific research in the field of the nutrition science, has developed a number of methodological recommendations on sports anthropology and various areas of prevention of metabolic disorders in athletes over the past decades. The separate section of research was the development of methods for preventing dehydration in athletes of various sports. Depending on the results of the study of the individual athlete nutritional status using integrative medicine methods there was a transition to personalization of recommendations, both on the composition of the traditional diet, and on the inclusion of specialized sport foods and dietary supplements in it. A lot of work is being done on state regulation, including state Standards, in the field of Specialized foodstuffs for athletes' nutrition. Recipes and production technologies of this group of products have been developed. The developed evidence-based educational programs allow to introduce the acquired knowledge in the field of optimal nutrition into the practice of sport activity.
