Sports Nutrition

Each athlete and each sport has its own set of nutritional requirements, from advising on how to achieve the large intake of carbohydrate necessary to fuel endurance sports to helping weight category athletes make weight prior to competitions. In a sport such as rugby, players need adequate carbohydrate to fuel the demands of training, and depending on both individual and positional requirements may need to either gain lean mass or reduce body fat.

However, it’s not quite so simple as “good foods” and “bad foods”. Each athlete’s personal nutritional requirements are assessed and advice is based on the demands of their sport and general lifestyle and ensuring that they are achieving the recommended intake of vitamins and minerals.

Advice given is based on research evidence, and the recommendations are then translated into foods and drinks to be taken in the appropriate amounts at the appropriate times to support training loads, improve recovery and optimise performance during competitions.

Nutri-Balance offers tailored advice to athletes of all levels. Helping you to achieve your maximum potential whatever your sport.
