Abstract

Athletics is a collection of sporting events that involve competitive running, jumping, throwing, and walking. The most common types of athletic competitions are track and field, road running, cross country running, and race walking. A variety of running events are held on the track which falls into three broad distance categories: sprints, middle-distance, and long-distance track events. Sprinting is running over a short distance in a limited period. It is used in many sports that incorporate running, typically as a way of quickly reaching a target or goal, or avoiding or catching an opponent. The nutrient rich bar is a nutritional enhancement frequently used by athletes to preserve their energy requirements in daily life. Nutri Bars supply an adequate quantum of nutrients for strength, vitality for sustained physical and mental activity. It is an ideal supplement for athletes, which is energy-dense, nutraceutical rich ready to eat, and easy to carry as a pregame and postgame snack. In the present study, Nutri Bar was developed using nutraceutical energy-rich food ingredients. A ready-to-eat Nutri Bar was prepared with locally available energy-rich nutraceutical food products. The developed bar was evaluated for sensory attributes by 9-point Hedonic scale. The highly accepted variation was chosen for the nutrient analysis. Nutrient analysis and nutraceutical potentials per 100g of bar revealed that the developed bar was rich in nutrients and anti-oxidants.
