Nutrition
Assess. Analyze. Advise. The Steps to Optimal Nutrition…
Nutrition is a key element in achieving optimal performance in any sport, and at any age or level, and plays an integral part in the development of the athlete. The demands of training, practicing, traveling and competing produce a complex lifestyle that requires high quality nutrition which can be maintained in practical real life situations. The Nutrition Division applies the best of current knowledge to each athlete’s individual needs in order to customize their eating and drinking into a unique plan aimed at supporting maximal performance. The mission of the Nutrition Division is to enhance personal, lifestyle, and sports performance through optimal nutrition. We focus on this through a three-step process: Assessment, Analysis, and Advice:
Assessment:
Past and present health and lifestyle, current eating patterns, personal and cultural food preferences, and special nutritional needs are assessed, alongside sports-specific demands for muscular energy, body composition changes, and recovery.
Analysis:
An accurate record of eating and drinking during the normal daily training and practice regime is analyzed to show macro- and micro-nutrient status, and energy and fluid balances are measured under realistic training and competition conditions
Advice:
Working with the athlete, plans are developed for changes in body composition, complete hydration, ideal nutrient intakes for performance, and for long term health and wellness. These are supported by an on-going strategy for implementing the changes required for optimal nutrition in practical situations both home and abroad.
