You are aware of the use of carbohydrate sports drinks to boost your fuel stores before and during training. You have heard of the need to ensure that you speed up recovery and repair damaged tissue following training and playing and you are keen to ensure that you do your best to train and recover right.However, there are many confusing messages out there - in the sport and fitness magazines that you read, from well-intentioned coaches and trainers whose expertise is not in cutting edge sport nutrition, from misinformed colleagues who have heard of the instant recovery and muscle development supplement..all of which can add confusion to the area of sports nutrition.
The purpose of this web site is to dispel the myths and to provide sound scientifically based advice on the best practices currently known about nutritional strategies before, during and after exercise.
