TrainingBefore Training (Preparation)
High carbohydrate snacks are a good choice before training as they provide the energy the body needs to perform at its best (Cara Zolinsky, 2012). Some recommended foods include fruit, toast, muesli bars or low fat yogurt. It's important that these foods are consumed between 45 minutes to an hour prior to training to avoid feeling sick or getting cramps or stitches (PBA Swimming Nutrition, 2011). |
