why is it important to maintain a healthy diet the rest of the time?
Its not enough to just concentrate on getting your diet right directly before competition. Ensuring that your everyday diet is optimised can have its biggest impact on performance by helping you to maintain an intensive training programme and promoting the physiological and biochemical adaptations that can lead to greater performance in competition. An inadequate diet during training will reduce the quality of your training and may mean you are not at your peak for competition.
