No, when it comes to creating the best possible outcome for sports performance, nutrition has evolved into a key and crucial component for any athlete serious about getting the most out of their body and mind on the field of play
The province’s Districts for Culture, Recreation and Sport will offer a chance to help athletes learn just how to manage their nutritional intake and fuel their performances with their Optimal Sports Nutrition seminar on Thursday, Mar. 18.
The Zoom event will be facilitated by sports dietitian Heather Hynes and will run for an hour, focusing on fuel requirements for sports performance (including the proper ratios of carbohydrates, protein and fats) as well as when you should eat before, during and after your activities in addition to proper hydration techniques.
Two workshops will be presented, one running from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. and the second from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., with a question and answer session to follow.
All sessions are free of charge and open to anyone interested, but you have to register at least 48 hours in advance. To register, click right here, and if you have any questions, feel free to e-mail brennen@gosouthwest.ca or call (306) 693-7304.
