Nutrition Matters

Eat a snack 1 to 3 hours before practice or a game to ensure a relatively empty stomach while exercising.

Full meals should be eaten at least 3 to 4 hours before a game.

A healthy pre-game meal will not make up for a poor daily diet.

What an athlete eats regularly will affect athletic performance more than game-day nutrition.

Eating the wrong food before or during exercise ca affect how an athlete feels during a game.

High-proteen and high fat foods, which digest slowly and may cause indigestion, nausea or vomiting, should be eaten more than three hours before an intense athletic event.

Avoid last-minute sweets immediatly before the game or practice. (Sugar foods make your blood sugar levels quickly peak and then rapidly fall to a lower than normal blood sugar level.)
