Fitness & recovery

Sportspeople - girl with weightsWhether you’re a serious athlete or you are exercising for your general health and fitness, nutrition is fundamental to your performance. The right diet will optimise your energy levels and help your body recover more effectively.

The athlete’s schedule generally follows a 3-phase cycle: training, competition and recovery. Each of these phases can be maximised by following the right diet. Milk, and milk-based products have an important role in sports nutrition – it is an ideal food for athletes and recreational exercisers, who want to build lean muscle, speed up recovery and rehydrate effectively.

More information on dairy foods and fitness and recovery can be found in Dairy Australia’s Sports fact sheet.
