Sports Nutrition / Nutrition for improving performance

Nutrition plays an important role at all levels of physical activity. Whether you are training for a marathon or just exercising for health there are a number of aspects of nutrition that the physically active person should pay particular attention to in order to gain maximum benefit from their exercise.

In the sporting world it is widely recognised that nutrition plays a vital role in performance and health. What we eat directly affects our ability to train, to recover from training and to compete.
