Nutritional guidance for competitive golfers to improve performance is limited. Recommendations and study conclusions from older research used smaller golf courses compared to today and require a reevaluation of energy expenditure. This review identifies aerobic fitness, in addition to strength, as a key determinant of success. A novel nutritional approach that incorporates carbohydrate supplementation to support aerobic fitness without sacrificing the ability to build strength is presented since longer courses require more stamina. Strategies for training, competition, and recovery are outlined based on different skill levels. American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) guidelines for carbohydrates, protein, and hydration intake are tailored specifically for competitive golf based on this approach. Putting requires precise movement and can be affected by fatigue. Nutritional studies in golf and similar sports that require focused movements are presented, exhibiting an improvement with adequate hydration and carbohydrate status and caffeine use. Competitive golf poses unique challenges to an athlete and commonly used ergogenic supplements that can improve performance in a variety of circumstances during training, competition, and while traveling are reviewed.
针对提高表现的竞技高尔夫球手的营养指导是有限的。与今天相比，来自较早期研究的建议和研究结论使用的高尔夫球场更小，这需要重新评估能量消耗。本综述确定有氧健身，除了力量，是成功的关键决定因素。由于较长的球场需要更多的耐力，因此提出了一种新的营养方法，该方法将碳水化合物补充纳入其中，以支持有氧健身，而不会牺牲增强力量的能力。基于不同的技能水平，概述了训练、比赛和恢复的策略。根据这种方法，美国运动医学学院（ACSM）针对碳水化合物、蛋白质和水合作用的摄入指南专门针对竞技高尔夫进行了调整。推杆需要精确的动作，并且可能会受到疲劳的影响。提出了在高尔夫和类似需要专注运动的运动中的营养研究，显示出适当的水合作用和碳水化合物状态以及咖啡因使用可以改善表现。竞技高尔夫对运动员提出了独特的挑战，通常在训练、比赛和旅行期间使用的各种情况下都可以提高表现的运动补剂也进行了审查。
