The Ideal nutrition program for athletes is to give enough energy
and nutrients to give enough the demands of training and exercise. Enhance adaptation and recovery between
training sessions. Include a wide
variety of foods like wholegrain breads and cereals, vegetables (particularly
leafy green varieties), fruit, lean meat and low-fat dairy products to enhance
long term nutrition habits and behaviours.
Enable the athlete to achieve optimal body weight and body fat levels
for performance. Provide adequate fluids
to make sure to give maximum hydration before, during and after exercise. Promote
the short and long-term health of athletes.
