Dalmay Performance Nutrition 

What we eat has a major influence on all 3 key areas of exercise performance:

​

1. Physical capacity (exercise speed & duration) 

2. Technical ability (sport-specific skills)

3. Cognitive performance (concentration, reaction time, etc.)

​

So getting your nutrition right is fundamental to performing at the top of your game.

​

A central part of performance nutrition is the understanding that your overall health and wellbeing play a vital role in your ability to perform at a high level consistently.

​

So we're not just talking about what we eat during the few hours in and around exercise.

​

Following a diet that maintains immune health, minimises injury risk, and cultivates a positive relationship with food is just as important as optimising acute fuelling strategies.

​

The key areas within performance nutrition, and those which my nutrition coaching encompasses, are:

​

• Game/race day performance​​

  • Acute strategies before and during competition to maximise performance on the day​, such as fuelling, hydration, and smart use of supplements & sports foods

​

• Recovery

  • ​​​​The readiness to compete or train again after exercise

​

• Training adaptations​​​​​​

  • ​​​​​​​How effectively each training session moves you towards your goal​

​

• Body composition​

  • Do you have the optimal amount of fat & muscle mass for your event?​

​

• Health​

  • Does your diet provide sufficient energy & nutrients to optimise health?​

​

• Injury prevention​

  • Diet and body composition affect injury risk and the rate of recovery

​

• General wellbeing​

  • Sleep, stress, social events, enjoyment of food & life in general​ are all influenced by our nutrition habits
