The study overviews the present situation with the sport nutrition, specifies the priority issues for discussion and analyses progress opportunities in this area. Due nutrition is increasingly recognized as one of the key conditions for the athletes being healthy and successful in sports since the modern training systems claim growing energy costs. Sport researchers have developed efficient diets for different sports, with special foodstuffs of high biological value being increasingly applied in the high-calorie diets. The study offers an analytical overview of the available literature on the special foodstuffs and diets applicable in the sport systems and new developments in this field. The Federal Research Centre for Nutrition, Biotechnologies and Food Safety has developed and tested a new “NutriSport” multilevel test system to diagnose nutritional deficiencies and optimize the athletes’ diets to improve their adaptation resource, sport form and competitive progress”. The new test and diet system offers special individual diets for elite athletes customized for their personal needs – analyzed by the high-tech physicality, adaptability and nutritional status test methods. Benefits of the new system have been many times proved in practice and verified by the athletes’ competitive progress in different competitive events.

Keywords: elite sports, nutritional status, foods for particular nutritional uses.
