Francis Holway, nutritionist Argentine soccer team River Plate and sports nutrition specialist, is one of the protagonists these days participating in the World Conference which is being held in Cineantropometría UCAM.
His work as a professional in this discipline makes him an authoritative voice to speak of nutritional presence in a Football World Championship as he is about to finish in Brazil.
"When there are two games a week, many trips and different environments, such as the World Cup, hydration and adequate nutrition are very important," he says.
"In these cases plays a significant role, especially when the game has overtime and penalties," he says.
"In these times, it is striking to see how teams use carbohydrate gels, sports drinks, or fruit bars to have fuel in the muscles, the nervous system and the brain."
"Nutrition is more important in football ever.'s Not just fuel for the parties, but also form the elements for recovery, hydration and modification of body composition, such as the increase or decrease in body fat "says Holway.
Your participation in the conference focuses primarily on its relationship with its field the kinanthropometry, science of measures and the composition of the human body, which "tells us what it is the structure of a person as for example if you have long arms and used to swim, or have short arms and it is best for weight lifting, "he says.
The bone structure, key
Francis Holway recognizes that there are certain sports that people are born with physical conditions and predestined.
In this regard, noted that "there are athletes that have an optimal body composition, but they should not pay because they were not born with the right skeleton for that discipline. Basketball and gymnastics are two examples."

"The world I'm living with great joy after many frustrations. Enough for us what has been achieved given the conditions," said Holway.

Messi Vs Maradona
Asked about the comparison between the current Albiceleste star, Leo Messi, and the historical figure of the Argentine country, Diego Armando Maradona, Francis Holway believes that "if Messi won the World Cup, would be greater than Maradona", but "comparisons are odious "he acknowledges.
"A Maradona we did an average of 23 fouls per game, Messi 3 or 4 have a slightly different style, Leo makes a lot more goals,... Maradona was more of a playmaker is difficult to compare If we abide by the statistics I think Messi is going to beat each other, "he says.
In addition, the physical state of the Argentine star, who on Sunday will play his first final of a World Cup, said: "I do not know what is the reason of the arcades of Messi. Actually that is not normal and I am struck ".
