Generally, the training and nutritional requirements for women are the same as for men although there are some subtle differences. However, a good, nutritionally balanced diet with appropriate levels of carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals, as well as plenty of water to keep the body hydrated will provide an excellent foundation for women whatever their sport.

Women who wish to take their training to the next level may wish to pay particular attention to the nutritional needs of their sport and add extra nutrients as appropriate, helping drive their performance onwards and upwards.
