Abstract:
This observational experimental study analyzes the sleep, hydration, and dietary habits of 174 youth football players from grassroots football clubs in Tarragona. Through anonymous surveys, significant deficiencies have been identified in these areas, which are essential for athletic performance and healthy development. The results highlight the need to implement nutritional education programs in clubs. The study concludes that adequate food intake, proper hydration, and optimal rest are key to achieving maximum performance and well-being from the early stages of life.
