Sports nutrition is the scientific study of how diet and nutrient intake support athletic performance, focusing on carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Many of these key nutrients are derived directly from plants, making plant science central to understanding how crop composition, phytonutrient profiles, and plant-based foods can be optimized to meet the demands of athletes. Research at this intersection drives interest in breeding and cultivating plants with enhanced nutritional properties relevant to human performance and recovery.
