CUIDAR continues its work of caring for the precious gems of Flamengo's Olympic sport. Last week, nutritionist Fernanda Donner gave a lecture to Flamengo's judokas at the Fla-Gávea dojo, offering tips and fundamental guidance for the sport, which is divided by bodyweight.

"The athletes were very receptive; the conversation lasted longer than expected. They participated, asked questions, and had some questions answered. This type of approach is crucial for aligning some basic nutrition concepts and demystifying unreliable and unfounded information found on the internet and social media. This way, athletes receive safe and reliable information to improve their nutrition and, consequently, their athletic performance," the nutritionist assessed.

The objective of the lecture was to clarify the main doubts related to nutrition in judo, such as: weight control for the category, energy replacement between training sessions, nutrition after weighing in and post-training recovery.
