Abstract

New Zealand is a successful sporting nation that consistently produces world-lass athletes. In addition to the elite, many New Zealanders are involved in recreational sports and exercise. Nutrition plays a major part in exercise performance by contributing to good health, enabling the athlete to train and compete optimally, and by enhancing recovery. This paper provides the stand of the New Zealand Dietetic Association (NZDA) on nutrition advice for athletes to follow in everyday training and at times of competition.
