Did you know the Paralympics is the second largest sports event in the world? The Paralympics first came to light in 1960 in Rome; 400 athletes from all over the world competed.
Paralympics 2016 start on the 7th of September in Rio. There are over 30 different sports being taken part in by people with disabilities from all over the world.
It is very important for all athletes to consume the right nutrients and stick to a proper exercise routine. Reducing the amount of fat you eat is important because it allows you to build muscle and keep a balanced weight. Carbohydrates and protein are what help keep your energy levels up and assist in building muscles and keeping them well. Keeping hydrated is one of the most important parts before an event as you lose a lot of fluids through sweating.
