Preferred term

eating before competition  

Definition(s)

  • Athletes, coaches, and trainers always ask what should be eaten before a sporting competition. Gone are the days when the pregame meal contained a fatty steak and french fried potatoes—sports nutrition research has elucidated the need for various nutrients before exercise, as well as the importance of timing of food and fluid consumption in the hours leading up to physical activity.
