"Therefore, in order that a lack of sufficient backup from sports doctors and nutritionists doesn't prevent the achievement of this goal, ..."

A full sentence might be easier to translate. Also, choosing strictly between the alternatives you've given doesn't work. It requires a rewrite.

There are so many things wrong with this that I wouldn't know where to begin.
It is an abysmally poor and pointless exercise to expect a language student to wrestle with.

I would tear it up and throw it away.

Majid72, could you please use a different font for your posts? The old-fashioned "computer" font you used is quite hard to read, particularly on a mobile phone screen. I have changed it in post #1 (and in the quote in post #3). A good choice for all posts is Arial.

The slash symbol is not to be indiscriminately used.

I assume the slash was used to indicate where majid72 could not decide between the words/phrases on each side of it, rather than that he/she intended to use it in the finished piece.
However, there should not be a space either side of the slash.
