Diving
Diving is separated into 3 different classifications:
- Springboard (1m and 3m)
- Platform (5m, 7m and 10m)
- Synchronised events for both men and women
Diving requires the athlete to be small, lean and well-muscled. This body composition provides physical advantages including better mechanical efficiency, increased power-to-weight ratio and a favourable image to diving judges but this type of physique requires careful nutritional planning to avoid nutrient deficiencies through restricted eating.
Topics discussed in the diving fact sheet include:
- Eating for training
- Managing body fat levels

- Eating during competition - what to keep handy on deck
