Narrative of sports nutrition in the State of Sinaloa: beginnings, adaptations and actions

Abstract

The National Commission of Physical Culture and Sports (CONADE) is the government agency in charge of fostering and promoting physical culture that seeks to involve Mexican men and women of all ages to integrate into the practice, from social sports to competitive and high performance. At the state level, the Sinaloense Institute of Sports and Physical Culture (ISDE) is the responsible in Sinaloa. With a Bachelor's degree in Nutrition from the Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa and a Master's degree in sports from the Universidad del Valle de México and the Real Madrid University School, I began my position as head of the ISDE Nutrition Department. year 2017. At the beginning of the calendar, the nutrition department held previous meetings with each of the coaches of the different sports disciplines, analyzing the enrollment of athletes, loads, general and specific stage preparation times, competition calendars, among other elements. Tests of conditioning factors of strength, skills and physical condition are evaluated. For me it has been very satisfying to be present in a branch that is growing day by day and is increasingly taken into account for the improvement of Mexican sport.
