Sports medicine specialist Marie Schaefer, MD, shares preventive training and nutrition tips for gymnasts.

Dietary CHO needs should be considered in light of the training loads and competition characteristics that are typically undertaken by adolescent athletes.

These different energy demands and subsequent CHO requirements must be considered, particularly when the participation in different sports is concurrent.
