Nutrition 101 - The Eight Lessons |
|
Something every swimmer should know
before learning about good nutrition is this:
Food does NOT make you swim fast. That’s right.
Food does not make you swim fast. What DOES make
you swim fast? Training. Training makes you swim fast.
Better yet, QUALITY training makes you swim fast.
And part of quality training is good nutrition!
Believe it or not, you don’t get fast during practice.
Practice is where you might see your times improving,
but your adaptation to training (i.e. getting
faster) actually occurs while your body is at rest.
Workout is the stimulus that causes this to
happen.
Workouts are hard! Yes they are. They’re supposed to be.
They’re designed to tell the body, “This is hard work
for me…you better do something to enable me to do it
again later.” And the body actually responds by becoming
more efficient – aerobically and anaerobically. During
its time off, the body WILL adapt. But only if you give
it the proper fuels.
Learning about good nutrition can be simple. Conduct
your “Nutrition Course” over the season with eight
easy-to-read (and learn) educational and
practical tips. |
