When you are training or competing, your muscles need energy to perform. One source of energy for working muscles is glycogen which is made from carbohydrates and stored in your muscles. Every time you work out, you use some of your glycogen. If you don’t consume enough carbohydrates, your glycogen stores become depleted, which can result in fatigue. Both sugars and starches are effective in replenishing glycogen stores.

Of all nutritional concern for athletes the most critical is good fluid hydration. One of the key functions of fluid for the athlete is for body temperature control. Lack of this element above all others can hinder performance and lead to more serious complications. A fluid loss of as little as 2-3 percent of body weight impairs performance. Fluid losses of 7-10 percent of body weight will lead to heat stroke and death. For a 150-pound person, a 2-3 percent fluid loss equates to 3 to 4 1/2 pounds of body weight.

Research shows that endurance athletes who are involved in physical activity for more than an hour and a half can produce up to three quarts of sweat per hour. That equals a loss of 6 pounds of body weight.

Taking iron supplements will not improve performance unless an athlete is truly iron deficient. Too much iron can cause constipation, diarrhea, and nausea may interfere with the absorption of other nutrients such as cooper and zinc. Therefore, iron supplements should not be taken without proper medical supervision.
