Abstract :
The link between good health and good nutrition is well established. Interest in nutrition and its impact on sporting performance is now a science in itself. Whether you are a competing athlete, a weekend sports player or a dedicated daily exerciser, the foundation to improved performance is a nutritionally adequate diet. In terms of high level sports people, the majority are able to train harder, recover faster, and adapt their bodies to the training stimulus. Diet plays a very important role in this cycle. A good diet can maximise an athlete’s potential and support high training loads, conversely a poor diet has repeatedly been shown to have negative effects on training quality, recovery, and adaptation.
