Summary/Abstract: Nutrition is the basic foundation of sedentary life style and sports. Nutrition, if not healthy, affects people's lives and makes it impossible for athletes to reach their goals. Therefore, it is crucial for athletes to support their individual diet programme with proper nutritional supplements in the process of training and competition. BCAA (Branched Chain Amino Acids) is a key element for athletes as it provides muscle mass and prevents muscle breakdown. Starting from this point, our research studies the role of BCAA (Branched Chain Amino Acids) in sports.
