Three days after the first educational workshop within the SAFE AND STRONG project, we organized a special lecture for parents and young judo athletes. The event aimed to deepen understanding of the role of nutrition in healthy development, sports performance, and safe Body Weight Regulation.
The lecture was delivered by Maruša Štangar, a top-level judo athlete and a Master of Food Engineering, who presented the fundamentals of healthy nutrition in a professional yet accessible way. She focused on the nutritional value of foods, how to read food labels, and how to design a balanced diet according to age, training load, and training phases.
Parents and young athletes gained practical knowledge that will help them make better everyday decisions related to nutrition and sport. We were pleased with the high level of interest, numerous questions, and open discussion, which confirmed the importance and relevance of this topic in the sporting environment.
Maruša Štangar will also be one of the key experts contributing to the preparation of the upcoming SAFE AND STRONG project e-book, which will bring together knowledge on nutrition, Body Weight Regulation, and the long-term development of young athletes.
