Whilst dietary needs and demands are different for each sport and discipline, one constant does exist—the need to be vigilant and conscious of both food intake and quality on an individual basis. Sports nutrition has developed greatly over the years.

I encourage every athlete, regardless of their level, to have a copy on their bookshelves. ...
