Bodyweight-Management
for Baseball-Players
• Baseball
players above or below ideal playing-weight increase injury-risk &
cannot reach baseball-potential.
• Young
baseball players’ height & weight should be checked by health
professional.
• Proper
nutrition program & baseball specific training program are
required for maintaining ideal bodyweight.
• Baseball
players must balance amount of energy required by body with amount
of food-energy consumed.
Caloric-Balance
• Caloric-requirements
are different for each baseball player & are determined by age,
weight, & activity-level.
• Baseball
players require 2500-2900 calories per day.
• Non-athletes
require 2000-2200 calories per day.
• Bodyweight
changes occur due to imbalance between caloric-expenditure &
intake.
• If
caloric-intake exceeds requirements, calories stored as fat.
• If
caloric-intake does not meet energy-requirements, muscle-loss
occurs.
• Physical
activity controls caloric-balance equation by burning excess
calories
