PCRM--Health--Food Power For Athletes Food Power for athletes Both competitive and recreational athletes areoften in search of a nutrition program to provide that winning edge. http://www.pcrm.org/health/Info_on_Veg_Diets/vegetarian_athletes.html
Extractions: Food Power for Athletes The Nutrition Game Plan In particular, a balanced diet that is high in carbohydrate, low in fat, and adequate in protein, is the recommended diet for athletes. Due to its high carbohydrate and low fat content, a vegetarian diet is an optimal sports diet. Fueling Your Body: Carbohydrate Gets the Gold Your body is always burning a mixture of carbohydrate, fat, and protein. The duration of exercise, intensity of exercise, level of physical conditioning, and initial muscle glycogen levels will determine which primary fuel your body will use. In general, carbohydrate is the primary fuel utilized during high intensity exercise. In fact, about 55 to 75 percent of calories in the diet should come from carbohydrate, and even more in individuals who compete in endurance or ultra-endurance events. Whole grains, fruits, and vegetables are excellent sources of carbohydrate. With prolonged exercise, at lower intensities, fat (in the form of fatty acids) becomes the primary fuel source. The shift to fatty acids during exercise helps spare the carbohydrate (glycogen) stores in your body and allows for prolonged exercise. However, while high carbohydrate intake is recommended for performance, there is no need to increase fat in the diet beyond the commonly recommended 10 to 30 percent of calories, as it is taken from storage sites in the muscles when needed. Increasing fat in the diet is not recommended for improving performance.

Extractions: College Athletes and Alcohol and Other Drug Use Alcohol Spit Tobacco Male Athletes and Sexual Assault Diet Pills, Laxatives, and Diuretics ... Other Organizations Few would argue that athletic success depends on both physical and mental health. Given that, it would be reasonable to expect that college athletes avoid using alcohol and other drugs to preserve their overall health and enhance their athletic performance. In fact, college athletes use alcohol, spit tobacco, and steroids at higher rates than their non-athlete peers. Cocaine attracted publicity for its role in the deaths of star athletes in the 1980s and has since waned as a prevalent drug among college athletes. Even so, cocaine still poses risks for college athletes, as do other drugs such as diet aids, ephedrine, marijuana, and psychedelics. Alcohol
