Musculoskeletal injury is a significant consideration in an athletic career, and appropriate nutrition is fundamental to the recovery process. This chapter outlines the phases of healing at the tissue level and summarises the current literature around nutritional support to connective tissue structures at different stages of recovery. It also explores the evidence for supplementation of micronutrients and enzyme cofactors as well as anti-inflammatory foods and botanicals. Timing should be considered for certain interventions, such as the use of bromelain, omega-3 fatty acids, curcumin and ginger, to ensure that healing inflammation may occur acutely as required, followed by unhindered resolution of tissue injury. Ensuring a whole food, low glycaemic, protein-rich diet should support resolution of inflammation and help to minimise loss of lean muscle mass during any periods of prolonged inactivity or immobilisation. This chapter highlights the importance of avoiding nutrient and energy deficiency in the injured athlete, and a case study provides a working example of how this may be assessed and managed, plus detailed nutritional support applied. Personalised care, understanding the foundational lifestyle factors that impact each athlete, and their genetic uniqueness, is crucial in supporting their physical and psychological recovery and return to training.
