Abstract
Athletes should match daily carbohydrate intake to energetic requirements of training and recovery.
Male and female athletes should closely monitor energy availability throughout the season with the guidance of a qualified nutrition professional.
Improving function of the gut microbiome through dietary strategies may be beneficial, particularly during periods of intense training and around competitions.
Athletes should enlist the help of a qualified nutrition professional to establish risk versus reward of training modalities and nutrition interventions (eg, nutrient periodization, supplement usage, and body composition changes).
Responses to nutrition interventions are highly individual and dependent on training history, training modality, training stress, event characteristics, and athlete goals.
