Although a priori age and sex do not seem to be determining factors to be taken into account, it has been seen that within each population there are certain situations and particularities, whether at a metabolic or behavioral level, that should be studied specifically, as they may differ between young athletes, older athletes and female athletes, so that when working with any of these groups within sport it is necessary to know them in depth. 

More and more athletes are opting for a diet that excludes foods of animal origin, whether for religious, ethical, environmental, etc. reasons. It has been seen that no food in itself is essential in the diet, because we can obtain the different nutrients in different food sources. However, due to the increased requirements of the athlete population, and the risk involved in excluding any food group in obtaining nutrients, nutritional support is necessary in this type of population by a dietitian-nutritionist who is able to provide the athlete with the best options and food combinations. 
It is essential for the nutritionist to have advanced knowledge in nutritional counseling for athletes who suffer from diabetes or who follow a strictly vegetarian or vegan diet, conditions that imply specific modifications in nutrition and health.
