Triathlon is an individual endurance sport consisting of three different disciplines: swimming, cycling and running. The importance of a good nutritional intake before, during and after exercise is key to achieve the goals of the test. This session will address the dietary-nutritional planning developed with a professional triathlete to compete in a middle distance triathlon. Aspects such as nutritional advice and planning to face the sporting event through dietary and nutritional recommendations for endurance athletes, possible nutritional risks, characteristics according to the profile of the athlete, characteristics of the event, supplies, sports materials, etc., are key factors to meet the objective of performing this type of endurance events correctly and without health risks.
