Sufficient intake of nutrients in children is crucial for the growth and proper development of the organism. For children who play sports, nutrition is a particularly important factor and affects the performance of a young athlete and his development. Incorrect composition of the diet or insufficient energy intake can lead not only to a deterioration in performance and a slowdown in regeneration, but also to a deterioration in other functions of the organism, including cognitive functions. The aim of the work is to analyze the current diet of two cohorts of children from two Brno sports clubs, attending regular training with different intensity of physical activity, and based on the results, to propose changes leading to an improvement in the nutrition and overall lifestyle of children. The effect of changes in the diet is monitored using a series of physical and one cognitive test. Body composition is also monitored.
