At Cucine Lube Civitanova, even those who work behind the scenes make a difference. A member of the red and whites since the 2016/17 season, nutritionist Alessandro Marinelli is a key member of the staff, contributing significantly to the team’s nutritional management. From the preseason recovery phase to the frenetic pace of the season itself, with the team working on multiple fronts almost every three days.
Is your work impactful both during the recovery phase and during the hottest moments?
Marinelli: “These are delicate moments that have a significant impact, impacting our buildup and preparation, but also playing a role in energy support, the pursuit of muscle mass gains, and the development of our training regime. Throughout the season, commitments and strategies change: now we focus on mass gains, while during the championships, the group must maintain a high level of training and maintain energy balance. During key phases, we support high energy needs to speed up recovery during intense matches and energy output makes the difference in short periods of time.”
