Having the correct fuel to enhance performance is dependent on the time, type and duration of exercise. Having a clear understanding of substrate utilisation and which nutrients take priority is essential for both peak performance and recovery. In this session Liz will cover the optimal fueling strategies for a range of sports and activities. You will learn the importance of timing of the key nutrients and which supplements can support training and recovery. We will review the research and look at how some simple changes can enhance overall performance.
Fueling for performance is largely dependent on the activity being performed. Understanding which energy systems are dominant during that activity will largely inform the client and athlete nutrition recommendations. This presentation will cover fueling basics for every sport type: Endurance, strength, mixed, and even weight-class sports. It will highlight key differences in nutrition recommendations for performance and recovery and supplementation.
