| Abstract | Sjedilački način života, razvoj tehnologije, brza i obilna prehrana te ubrzani način života, doveo je do pretilosti i porasta kroničnih bolesti, a funkcionalne i motoričke sposobnosti su na zabrinjavajuće niskoj razini. Fitnes se kao pojam u svakodnevnom životu često koristi, a označava stanje dobrog tjelesnog i mentalnog zdravlja, dobre tjelesne kondicije nastale kao rezultat redovitog tjelesnog vježbanja, pravilne prehrane i brige o svom zdravlju. Osjećati se zdravo, zadovoljno i sposobno za obavljanje svakodnevnih zadaća trebao bi biti cilj svakog pojedinca, ali i društva u cjelini. U današnje vrijeme, svaki malo ozbiljniji rekreativac, a pogotovo vrhunski sportaš, vodi brigu o svom režimu prehrane. Ukoliko prehrana nije pravilna, naročito u sportaša mlađih dobnih kategorija, dolazi ne samo do nepravilnosti u razvoju već i do narušavanja zdravlja. Pristup prehrani treba biti individualan, odnosno ovisi o dobi, spolu, vrsti sporta, broju treninga, te socijalnom i zdravstvenom statusu pojedinca. |
| Abstract (english) | Sedentary lifestyle, advances in technology, fast and abundant food consumption and fast-paced life have all lead to obesity and an increased number of chronic diseases, while functional and motor abilities have reached alarmingly low levels. Fitness as a term is used often in everyday life. It means being physically and mentally healthy, being in good physical shape due to bodily training, healthy diet and personal health care. Feeling healthy, satisfied and capable of fulfilling everyday demands should be the goal of not only every human being, but also the society as a whole. In this day and age even amateur athletes, not to mention professional athletes, concern themselves with proper nutrition and dietary regimen. Inadequate nutrition, especially with younger athletes, can result in unhealthy development and poor health. Nutrition should be personalized meaning it should depend on the individual’s age and gender, type of sport, number of trainings, social and health state. |
