I promised at the Parent Meeting on Thursday evening to publish some references on nutrition that may be useful to our Nordic Skiers. \u00a0I have cut and paste from an email I sent out a couple of years ago below<\/p>\n
“The\u00a0 ASC Foothill Training Group had a great practice on Sunday and almost all athletes left the stadium and went around some of the trail system.\u00a0 However, on the return it became clear that some skiers were exhausted.\u00a0 It seems worthwhile reminding people that nordic\u00a0 skiing at altitude is a strenuous activity and requires an appropriate diet.\u00a0 Here is a link<\/a>\u00a0 to some useful information on diet – it appears on a nordic web-site but was probably written for alpine skiing.\u00a0 The principles are the same.<\/p>\n In the many years I have been coaching there has only been one case where a boy had problems with matching his food intake to the demands of Nordic Ski Racing.\u00a0 Unfortunately, many High School Girls seem to underestimate the calories burned in this sport, and\u00a0 seem to run out of gas in training and races.\u00a0 There is an informative paper\u00a0 \u201cThe Role of Adequate Nutrition for Performance and Health for Female Cross-Country Skiers”\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 published by FIS which is worth skimming for information on why this problem may occurs for girls.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I promised at the Parent Meeting on Thursday evening to publish some references on nutrition that may be useful to our Nordic Skiers. \u00a0I have cut and paste from an email I sent out a couple of years ago below “The\u00a0 ASC Foothill Training Group had a great practice on Sunday and almost all athletes […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nu-nordic.lancom.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nu-nordic.lancom.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nu-nordic.lancom.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nu-nordic.lancom.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nu-nordic.lancom.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=198"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/nu-nordic.lancom.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":199,"href":"https:\/\/nu-nordic.lancom.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198\/revisions\/199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nu-nordic.lancom.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nu-nordic.lancom.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nu-nordic.lancom.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
