Pre-, During, and Post-Competition Nutrition Strategies | CSCS Chapter 10

[@dannicazambrano]

I just wrote a journal entry for another class talking about how my what I eat sometimes affects the way I feel during exercise and this video just confirmed/explained some of those outcomes!

[@kelli-lynroche8446]

I never ate before practice or a game in high school, and even now, I do not like to eat before I exercise. But after watching this, I realize how important that is.

[@laurenwahl9715]

I have been much more focused on my nutrition in relation to my exercising habits lately as I have spent a lot more time in the gym the past few months, and have noticed how much the way I eat affects the way I feel while training, so this was especially interesting to me!

[@VirAquinoPLNU]

It's so much information that athletes need to remember or coaches need to remember in order for their player to stay in a competitive mode throughout their competition

[@sarahcox-barden]

I'm currently taking a nutrition class and we touched on this briefly so it was a nice refesher and I got some new info out of it

[@abartsch0022]

That is so interesting how every sport type is encouraged to eat protein and carbs after the game to make sure that they are recovering after the game. I also like how you made it clear that not all sports are the same and that kids need different amounts compared to adults.

[@mollytucker567]

I thought the table about pre-competition food and fluid recommendations was really helpful as it helped give direct examples/ideas of how to go about eating/getting your fluids before competing.

[@kieranmccarty4050]

It is fascinating to learn about how important it is to replenish our bodies post exercise. Thank you Dr Goodin!

[@thomaskinzler]

I have always hear people bash on sports drinks because of the levels of sugar that they contain, so I appreciate having a solid understanding now of why those carbs are necessary during competition or practice.

[@IvyBartlett]

I never used to eat before practice or games in high school, and even now, I don’t like eating before exercising. However, after watching this, I've come to understand how important it is.

[@isabellecousineau302]

I so love learning about nutrition with sport because it truly does affect how we train and perform as well as how it makes us feel in the broader sense.

[@NoelleDarquea]

Going over hydration was great since I have an exam on it in my nutrition class tomorrow!

[@macynunez4455]

Super interesting to learn about the importance of fueling before, during, and after competition and training sessions!

[@DevanneyBoyd]

This was a helpful walk-through of key competition nutrition strategies.

[@julianasum8481]

This video helped me educate me on how vital nutrition is, and how athletes must fuel and hydrate their bodies properly in order to have a successful competition.

[@AylethLizarraga]

This video is great and allowed me to learn about what we can do in order to support our athletes before, during, and after competition! Knowwing the sport and the athletes needs is very important

[@BrianaReynoso]

This video helped me understand the importance of nutrition pre, during and post competition. There's a lot of misconceptions when it comes to athletes and their nutrition but i'm glad I'm much more informed now.

[@wyattcarlson7504]

Its great to see further explanation to why it is important to be have proper nutrition during the events just as much as before and after.

[@jadenrea1109]

I think this video is super helpful, specifically in regards to pre-competition nutrition as many athletes tend to do things that may not be completely ideal for their events. I can personally say that before soccer games my pre-game nutrition was changed after I kept cramping and feeling sluggish at the beginning of a game.

[@charmenatchison854]

I like the idea of trying different meals ahead of time to see how the body responds. I remember we never paid too much attention to our pre-competition meals back in the 80's and how I felt differently each time accordingly.

[@jupshaw]

This video allowed me ot gain a deeper understanding of what it means to rehydrate and replenish essential nutrients fro athletes, very helpful!

[@chynnakifer1218]

I like how you talked about food in practice especially since not all stomachs handle food the same. Thank you for the overview!

[@emmasanchez5975]

It's nice to hear this at the same time as my nutrition class. It's cool to see both sections go hand in hand. It's really important to notice the importance of nutrition before, during, and after a competition.

[@aribhalla9820]

love diving deeper into the specific nutrition strategies! we've touched on a lot of this in KIN3030, but I always enjoy covering this material again!

[@MatthewDuPrey325]

I definitely really enjoyed this video especially the part about Carbohydrate loading because I have always heard people refer to it but never fully understood the reasoning behind it so it was cool to get to learn about it.

[@moirabryson5042]

Not gonna lie I didn't think we should be eating during performance before watching this video, but now I know all the benefits of doing so. Thank you!

[@torilucht5871]

This was a great video outlining the important of proper nutrition during all phases of exercise! Particularly, the timing of when an athlete should consume nutrients before exercise is really important.

[@dereklinck2672]

Great video on when and what you should be fueling the body and how it affects performance. Nutrition, especially when used in certain windows can boost performance and recovery times a good amount, great lecture video.

[@makennakaczmarczyk7563]

The table on precompetition food and fluid recommendations was really informational! Even though I don't compete in sports anymore, it is beneficial to know to share with athletes I might work with in the future, or for my brother who still plays competitive soccer.

[@hannahb872]

Great video on nutrition intake for athletes, this was a big section to cover mainly because its an overview of nutrition for endurance and resistance training athletes. When training & nutrition are done right that's how you'll prepare your body really well for advancement in training!

[@cjbuenviaje]

I think that this is some good information to know as I coach freshmen football and a lot of these kids do not eat food throughout the day because they don't think that packing a lunch is "cool" yet during practice and in the games, you see that they have very low energy or their bodies breakdown a lot the following day at practice. I think it is important that we inform athletes about how nutrition plays a huge role in performance especially young growing athletes.

[@lexireynish5892]

I definitely think this video helped me understand the significance of balanced pre, during, and post workout meals. I wish I would have known more about this when I was a competing athlete.

[@jakegonzales1367]

The importance of hydration seemed to be a common theme between all aspects of competition in this chapter. But you made a great point at the end on how this is not a dietetic book its more of an overview.

[@madelinejewelnebril2871]

I found it interesting how you also outlined what nutrition can look like for younger athletes and how they're programs may not be as individualized as adult athletes.

[@matthewwadley4348]

Really interested when you were talking about carbohydrate loading as it was the first time I’ve heard of it

[@morganrolleri9198]

I really enjoyed learning about nutrition pre-,during, and post-competition and how important is is when trying to gain muscle or improve performance.

[@brysonhashimoto2878]

I find it very interesting that hydration plays a crucial role in pre-game nutrition. This makes a lot of sense because I am a heavy sweater and now that I am more prone to cramps due to my excessive fluid loss. Drinking lots of water with electrolytes pre game can help combat this.

[@willhopkins4197]

Very interesting to see the recommendations for hydration in children. I don't know if I was pushed to follow those guidelines as a kid, so I will definitely keep it in mind if I ever work with kids.

[@lucamarin8565]

Its great to learn the science behind the importance of the pre gym meal

[@tianguyen3897]

I found it so interesting how much carbohydrate intake is stressed during each phase of competition nutrition. This was something I had never known about!

[@karatemplin]

I’ve heard mixed reviews on carb loading. It’s interesting how much information can vary between people and between even classes.

[@avajgallo]

I never think as much about my pre-comp meal and when I eat it but now I want to try!

[@joyshang5670]

I liked learning about carb loading since I always hear about it but never really understood what it was!

[@emilywalker9462]

Two whole plates of raw broccoli before a race sounds wild! This video was helpful in debunking misconceptions and applying to real life. Thank you for all the applicative information!

[@thelmasepulveda4481]

It was really important to know how much water children should be drinking during sports because I will be work with children in the future. Also, the different recommendations of carbohydrates based on the time before competition was very useful to me.

[@Adam.gates_]

It was interesting to hear that carb loading doesn't boost performance unless the event is at or over 90 min! I've always heard that it helps no matter what.

[@kylesands9693]

Where do I get the Loma lifting society shirt??? My go to carbohydrate sources for football and baseball were always Gatorade and skittles! Skittles might not be totally optimal but you gotta remember to have fun with it sometimes.

[@bensonmutuvi8429]

Nutrition for sport and different athletic competitions (powerlifting,bodybuilding, etc). Can be so different and yet the same. So interesting.

[@ClaireStone-jq4wg]

I found learning about how younger athletes should hydrate during practice and games every 20min interesting.

[@evaozimec]

I found it interesting how much a pre-competition meal impacted one's physiology and performance.

[@shiva-un1sm]

thank you so much doc, cover chapter 19 on speed and agility, I think that is the toughest chapter in the book.

[@madelinehernandez8838]

I really liked learning about the hydration levels for adolescents as I feel this is not talked about enough. Growing up playing soccer we did not have a lot of water breaks. It is said that children should be drinking 5-9 ounces of cold water or a salted beverage every 20 minutes even if they do not feel thirsty. This is based off of their weight.

[@ameliabrock]

Oh boy, this whole chapter has really driven home how unsafe my eating habits have always been; especially during track season where I would eat around 500 cal a day ._.

[@timothydavis2568]

Great videos. The closing music for this video was so loud I couldn't hear you

[@DrJacobGoodin]

Thanks for the feedback! Still working on dialing in the audio levels, work in progress...

[@timothydavis2568]

A small inconvenience in an otherwise excellent series. Your videos are saving my life for CSCS prep, thanks so much!@@DrJacobGoodin

[@DrJacobGoodin]

I appreciate it 💪🏽! @@timothydavis2568

[@Moniiiqueee824]

I feel like a lot of athletes don't eat the proper pre, during, and post meals. I know for myself I would skip out on either a meal or not getting the right amount of water. Mostly cause of a lack of time and not wanting to be full or using the restroom frequently.

[@faisalalmutairii]

thanks for these videos. sorry but you mention the pubmeds for the studies on 10:00 for carb loading?

[@celinegriffin3244]

It was interesting to learn that if you rinse carbohydrates through the mouth without digesting it you would improve performance approximately 1 hour by 2 to 3%.

[@alannabergherm8046]

I've always thought it was interesting that even a swish of a carbohydrate drink can help improve performance!

[@dimitricarrion6145]

I liked how you mentioned fat and fiber slowing down digestion which makes it not a good idea to have high amounts of those shortly before exercise

[@braedenmoore3743]

I had no idea there were so many steps to carbohydrate loading. When I played soccer in high school we had team dinners the night before a game where we either had pizza or pasta and ate as many carbs as possible. Now that I've learned about it a little more, I know that this strategy probably didn't provide the best performance results.

[@teddower4170]

idk if it is my headphones but the music at the end made it very hard to hear you. Thanks for the awesome video!

[@ryanharris8481]

I believe some high school coaches need to be educated on the importance of hydration during practices. I have seen some coaches frown upon taking a water break or saying its "weak"

[@cameransherwood5157]

CARBS CARBS CARBS!! haha, always loved thinking I was carb loading properly for events when I was younger but in hindsight, I really had no idea what I was doing or why Lol

[@antonpohrebniak]

"That 90min soccer match can stretch for a really long time with commercial breaks, time outs etc.", typical American 😂😂 sorry, it's just seemed a funny one to me. Thx for the video!🙏🏻 Great info❤👍🏻

[@rozalynnlarson8835]

This brought me back to my sectional cross country meet. I thought it was a good idea to eat a banana and chug a bottle of water right before the race. I ended up throwing up three times (still got a PR and qualified for state haha). Anyways this goes to show the importance of trying things out in practice instead of on race day.

[@caleighgarcia7792]

This was a good refresher from the sports nutrition test. The nutrition side of this major has definitely piqued my interest.

[@wyntonbrown9439]

Would it be beneficial for an athlete to eat carbohydrates before bed, the night before a game/performance?

[@zoiezantua7002]

I had no idea that you could rinse with carbohydrates

[@Neveragain188]

Music was a bit early

[@AnX0256]

Outro music kicked in waaaay too soon

[@audreyoates3242]

Nutrition is so important to fuel the body, especially prior to competition. I liked the emphasis on carbs and protein. This video was very informative!

[@emilydonahue8216]

it's crazy how pasta feeds aren't actually beneficial for cross country!

[@stanfordndlovu7643]

Good presentation, may you please send me the slides via email?
