摘要：
The goal of sports nutrition is to optimise an athlete's performance. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3), an omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid, provides unique health benefits. DHA is found throughout the body. It is a major structural fat in the brain and retina and a key component of heart tissue. The benefits provided by an adequate consumption of DHA include improvements in cardiovascular health and brain and eye function. DHA is also associated with reduced inflammation, maintenance of lean body composition, and improved cognitive and visual performance. DHA may promote better athletic performance by optimising oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues.
