Objective:

There is no doubt that nutrition plays a vital role in optimizing athletic performance and training quality. Nutrition interacts with all aspects of the athletes training therefore a well fueled athlete will be better positioned to achieve full genetic potential.

Quality nutrition will:

• help maximize exercise performance (i.e. improve mean power output), by providing the fluids, nutrients and fuels required during high intensity training
• decrease recovery time from strenuous physical activity
• prevent injury during exercise as a result of fatigue and speed recovery if injured
• decrease risk of illness as a result of high intensity training and competition
• enhance concentration, skill and precision
• facilitate healthy body composition
• help maintain overall good physical health

Nutrition is a critical component of an athletes overall sport science program and therefore overall success. In fact poor nutrition has the potential to turn an elite athlete into an average one. How well are you fueling?
