AB  - The  athlete’s  goals  during  competition  are  to  perform  to  their  optimum  level.  A  range  of  factors  can  impair  performance,  including  issues  related  to  nutrition.  ‘Competition  eating’  is  based  on  the  principle  of  implementing  nutrition  strategies  that  can  reduce  or  delay  the  onset  of  factors  that  cause  fatigue  or  performance  impairment.  Of  course,  practical  issues  must  also  be  considered,  particularly  in  light  of  the  frequency  with  which  athletes  are  required  to  travel  interstate  or  overseas  to  compete  in  their  target  events.  Competition  nutrition  includes  special  eating  strategies  undertaken  before,  during  and  in  the  recovery  from  the  event.  In  this  chapter,  we  will  review  the  strategies  undertaken  in  the  hours  or  days  before  competition,  to  prepare  athletes  to  perform  at  their  best.
