Abstract

The American Dietetic Association, Dietitians of Canada and the American College of Sports Medicine have recently published a Joint Position Statement regarding the role of optimal nutrition and its impact on athletic performance and recovery from exercise. The Joint Position Statement covers a wide variety of topics related to nutrition and athletic performance including energy needs, assessment of body composition, nutrient and fluid needs, supplements and ergogenic aids. This presentation, however, will focus on a subset of topics from the Joint Position Statement dealing with fueling needs before, during and after exercise. The Joint Position Statement used a rigorous evidence-based approach in reviewing the scientific literature. This process limits reviewer bias and allows for comparison of multiple studies.

These recommendations can be used as the basis for athletic trainers to make recommendations to their athletes/clients while being assured the information is evidence-based. Additionally, the presentation will explain these evidence-based guidelines and translate the facts into practical examples of food and fluid recommendations while addressing their timing of consumption before, during and after exercise.
