Walking climbed by 18% in the past 15 days of March 2019, according to Garmin GPS monitoring data. Thus, increasing demand for sports food is driving the market.

Sports Food Market Challenges

Adverse effects on health owing to excessive consumption of sports supplements are restraining the market

Over-the-counter and internet sports supplements are commonly accessible. They have undisclosed chemicals in them, such as androgenic steroids. Almost one out of every five sports supplements, according to the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority, contains forbidden chemicals such as stimulants and anabolic steroids. It cautioned that using any supplement is anticipated to be dangerous. Some supplements include a lot of protein or creatine amounting to 17% in them. In otherwise healthy people, their usage is projected to result in an increase in blood urea or creatinine. The use of androgenic drugs causes androgen insufficiency with hypogonadism symptoms. This is unintentional since the contents on the labeling of a few sports pills do not include steroids. If a person admits to using sports supplements, it's a good time to talk about their overall health and fitness. The Australian Sports Commission offers guidance on muscle growth and supplementation. Hence, adverse effects owing to sports food, especially steroids are restraining the market.
