| How much do I need to eat? by Beth Mansfield |
|
Surveys suggest that most athletes do NOT consume
sufficient energy to support needs. They have a
tendency to supply needed energy AFTER it is
needed mainly because they are poor planners with
many work, home and sport commitments or they are
restricting their intake to achieve too fast a rate of
weight loss leading to disordered eating patterns.

issues related to the push phase of classic skating
