Effect of selected micronutrient supplementation on speed and endurance running performance of trained and untrained males

Abstract

In the world of sport among all goodness and pleasure there is a gloomy part-the act of doping and drugging. Amidst all creative acts the only illegal practice is spoiling the field with numerous distractions. Survey reveals that most of the athletes in some or the other phase of his career use doping. Unlikely the process of supplementation which is legal and effective can be a enormous benefit especially for athletes of a country like India, where a number of athletes are economically below poverty line, and inevitably face several nutritional deficiencies. At this juncture it is worth mentioning that if the athletes are trained technically and supplemented scientifically with respect to their nutritional needs they can perform better in sport field than technical training only. newline
