The importance of good nutrition cannot be over emphasized for both the athlete and the non-athlete. The difference is essentially in the number of calories. Both need a well balanced diet, normally taken as three meals a day. Modifications on the day of participation require planning as well as understanding. Many myths have developed from a false impression that some advantage will be gained over an opponent or that performance will be enhanced. Scientific evidence does not support these claims. The physician should be aware of the recommendations contained in the Canadian Food Guide for the basic diet. He should also be prepared to discuss variations in dietary habits which have entered the sports scene.
良好的营养对于运动员和非运动员都非常重要，这点怎么强调都不为过。区别主要在于卡路里的数量。两者都需要均衡的饮食，通常是一日三餐。参与比赛当天的饮食调整需要计划和理解。许多误解来自于一种错误的印象，即认为某些优势会胜过对手，或者表现会得到提高。科学证据并不支持这些说法。医生应该了解加拿大食物指南中关于基本饮食的建议。他还应该准备好讨论进入运动领域的饮食习惯的变化。
