Sports nutrition is a topic that is often misinterpreted and sometimes abused. The often-used "shot-gun" method to meeting caloric needs by simply increasing caloric intake disregarding nutrient source is scientifically contrary to the need for a more careful study of the nutritional requirements of rowers. Rowing by itself is a very demanding sport as typical training sessions use exercise intensities that range from very low submaximal work to short term supramaximal efforts. The intake in calories should take into account also the type of race that the athlete will afford. In the case of the rower Giovanni Ficarra who won, in 16 months, three world competitions in the three different rowing disciplines, his dietary needs and training schedule significantly changed according to the type of competition, to be prepared for the extreme load of physical effort required to get the podium in such different conditions. This article in intended to provide recommendation for both coaches and athletes that are approaching rowing in its whole meaning and disciplines as Giovanni Ficarra did.
运动营养是一个经常被误解且有时被滥用的话题。常用的“散弹枪”方法，即通过简单增加热量摄入而不顾营养来源来满足热量需求，在科学上与更仔细研究赛艇运动员营养需求的必要性背道而驰。赛艇运动本身就是一项要求极高的运动，因为典型的训练课程使用的运动强度范围从非常低的次最大强度运动到短期的超最大强度努力。热量摄入还应考虑运动员将要参加的比赛类型。以赛艇运动员乔瓦尼·菲卡拉为例，他在16个月内赢得了三个不同赛艇项目的三项世界比赛冠军，他的饮食需求和训练计划根据比赛类型显著改变，以便为在如此不同条件下登上领奖台所需的极端体力负荷做好准备。本文旨在为像乔瓦尼·菲卡拉那样全面理解赛艇运动及其各个项目的教练和运动员提供建议。
