Last week, CUIDAR held another event for the School of Parents and Athletes. On Thursday (07), red-black fans and their guardians gathered in the Salão Nobre for the lecture "Food before, during and after training and competitions", with the center's nutritionist Renata Parra. There were around 300 participants. 

"The event was really cool, above expectations. I think the more we promote these Parent-Athlete Schools, the more interaction we'll have. Meetings like these are important for a few reasons, one of which is that there are so many athletes for so many professionals at the club, so one way to reach them is by doing collaborative work, always with an educational focus," Renata added.

"The idea is to plant a seed in their minds so they understand that sport must be linked to nutrition, which is their main fuel. The talk this time focused on what they eat before, during, and after training and competitions. The importance of athletes understanding what type of food to consume, when, and why, whether for recovery, to provide or replenish energy during training... The issue of hydration was also raised, replenishing not only fluids but also electrolytes, and a warning and caution about the misguided use of supplements," concluded the nutritionist.
