Food and sport must go hand in hand, as it is essential that athletes follow a proper diet to help them improve their performance"

Aquatic Sports include a variety of sports disciplines (swimming, water polo, diving, synchronized swimming) with very different metabolic strength and technical demands, although they all share the peculiarity that the movement takes place in water. Athletes competing in Aquatic Sports face the constant challenge of arduous training and competition schedules in difficult and changing environmental conditions. One point to consider is the huge range of water temperatures to which swimmers and other aquatic athletes are often exposed (16-31°C for open water swimming), coupled with altered aquatic thermoregulatory responses compared to land-based athletes, can challenge the health, safety and performance of these athletes.

On the other hand, the search for improved sports performance is a common goal in all sports. Based on this goal, there is a group of sports that stand out because this sporting improvement must be coordinated with the search for a specific body weight (combat sports, weightlifting, powerlifting, bodybuilding modalities). Sports with weight categories seek to promote fairer and more interesting competitions, since the confrontation takes place between opponents of the same physical build and ability. However, in these sports there is a marked tendency to gain an advantage by trying to get into a lower weight category than the natural training weight and, thereby, compete with athletes of lower physical build and weight. In general, the athlete tries to reduce his body mass to the minimum possible.

Athletes sometimes perform quite aggressive protocols to reduce body weight and fall into a lower weight category. These practices are characterized by a strong restriction of food and fluid intake, leading to a state of glycogen depletion and hypohydration. In this context, a certain muscular catabolism (loss of muscle mass) could occur, which would compromise sports performance.
