Sports Dietitians Australia Factsheets
Welcome to the Sports Dietitians Australia factsheets! We encourage you to use the factsheets to further your understanding of these specific areas of sports nutrition but please note that the information they contain is general in nature. We all have different physical needs and attributes. This means that while there are general principles, the key to sports nutrition is that it is very individual in nature. For this reason, not all factsheets are publicly available and are accessible only to members. For support that is specific to your activity needs and health and stage of life requirements, please reach out to an Accredited Sports Dietitian.
Travel is a part of life for many athletes but can present many challenges for meeting nutritional goals. Whether you’re travelling overseas, interstate or spending a couple of hours in a car, your aim is to arrive ready to perform at your best. Travelling for competition can often take on a holiday atmosphere, pushing good nutrition to one side however, it’s important to still meet your nutrient needs for training and competition.
