In Monemvasia, a significant event unfolded at the Dietetic Office of nutritionist Efi Alexopoulou, where 17 young members of the Atromitos Sykeas football team gathered. Accompanied by team president Sakis Sourtzis and coach Panos Kontakos, the children participated in a vital assessment aimed at monitoring their physical condition.
This visit, marking the second of its kind this year, focused on body composition measurements. According to Ms. Alexopoulou, evaluating body composition is crucial for athletes, as it aids in understanding their physiological needs and contributes to enhancing performance, endurance, and overall health.
During the session, the nutritionist engaged with the children, offering simple advice and explaining, in relatable terms, how to maintain a healthy lifestyle and respect their bodies. This interaction not only informed the young athletes but also instilled a sense of responsibility towards their health.
Coach Panos Kontakos expressed gratitude towards Efi Alexopoulou for her collaboration and the invaluable guidance she provides. He also extended heartfelt thanks to the parents for their unwavering support in every initiative undertaken for the benefit of the children. The commitment to nurturing and protecting the young athletes remains a top priority for the team.
This initiative highlights the importance of integrating nutritional education and health monitoring into youth sports, ensuring that young athletes are not only skilled in their sport but also equipped with the knowledge to lead healthy lives.
