There are there areas of nutrition that the speed based athlete must be aware of. These are: workout nutrition; competition nutrition; and meals throughout the day.
In the video below Joel Marion adresses the issue of how to optimally combine nutrients during meals throughout the day.
Although the video was not geared specifically for athletes, body composition is an important consideration for performance sport. It is well understood that keeping body fat levels low allows for greater speed development, since this will contribute towards maximising an athletes strength to bodyweight ratio. Increased muscle mass will also be advantageous in many instances, particularly when it comes to accelerating over short distances such as in the 40 yd dash.
