Tip: More Antioxidants

Antioxidants are all the rage, but do athletes need to take more sports nutrition supplemental antioxidants? Many sports nutrition diet and sports nutrition supplement experts say no, but Dr. Ken Cooper, the "father of aerobics," says yes in his book on the subject, The Antioxidant Revolution. A greater antioxidant requirement stands to reason, as athletes burn more calories, use more fuel, and sweat more. In general they need more of everything.

Tip: Don´t Skip Meals
You may be so dazzled by your triple-jump time you forget lunch. Don't, and don't rely on a sports nutrition supplement. Performance in moderate-to-high intensity exercise of 35-40 minutes duration was better when a meal was eaten 3 hours before exercise than when the previous meal was 6 hours before exercise, in a study in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition. The meal used in the sports nutrition diet was moderate to high carbohydrate, low fat, and low protein. Don´t skip meals before competition or training.

Tip: Sodium for Muscle Cramps
Get salty! If you´re doing heavy exercise in hot weather, you may find muscle cramps become a problem. Often, this can be solved by adding a little salt to your sports nutrition diet, especially if you ordinarily avoid salt. Your body can lose up to 2,000mg of sodium in hot and severe conditions! Sports nutrition drinks and a sports nutrition supplement with sodium work too. If the cramps persist, check with a doctor to rule out serious conditions.
