Key Nutrition Fitness

A sports nutritionist in private practice for the past 25 years, Karin’s aim was to ensure that her products were formulated to include two major criteria: the supplements had to include macro and micronutrients which provide immediate energy during training and events, and they had to support and maintain long-term cellular health.

The science of sports performance is dependent on an athlete’s body composition. In order for any athlete to achieve his/her best power to weight ratio, endurance and strength, their diet plays a crucial role. This is where we set the pace.

Not all athletes require the same power output, endurance or even physical weight in their sporting categories. Most sport disciplines are unique in their physical demands on the athlete. This means that there is no mainstream diet that all athletes can follow in the hopes of achieving their best performance and results.

Each athlete’s body composition is unique to his or her sport discipline and is also determined by age and gender. On your initial consultation, we conduct a body-stat analysis based on BEI measurements (Bio-electrical impedance on the scales). This gives an accurate profile of the total muscle mass, water weight and total body fat within your system. Next, come the calliper and tape measurements to gauge subcutaneous fat. These three measurements together create an accurate body composition profile.

During the consultation, the meal plan is tailored to your unique sporting requirements. Healthy essential body fat levels are maintained in the system while excess fat is removed to increase performance.

Lean muscle mass is a major requirement for opti censoredsports performance. We strive for 80% or higher lean muscle mass density in the athlete as a requirement.
