SPORTS NUTRITION FOR COACHES

"The amount, composition and timing of food intake can profoundly affect sports performance." 
IOC Consensus Conference on Nutrition and Sports Performance

Training, recovery and mental preparation are key factors to an athlete’s success. But eating the right food at the right time is equally vital to achieving optimal athletic performance.

The Sports Nutrition Department at ASDC – Capital Region offers advice and information that will help athletes:

• Top up blood sugars and glycogen to optimize training results
• Learn how to adequately hydrate
• Maximize performance by preparing with food and fluid
• Reduce their risk of injury by recovering from training and competition faster
• Achieve an ideal physique for their specific sport or player position
• Make smart choices about dietary supplements and ergogenic aids
