Athletic performance and recovery from training are enhanced by attention to nutrient intake. Developing an ideal nutrition plan for health and performance includes identifying the right quantity, quality and proper timing of food and fluids needed to support regular training and peak performance. As training demands shift during the year, student-athletes also need to adjust their intake and distribution of essential nutrients while maintaining a properly balanced diet that supports their academic, training and competition needs.
Cal Poly Pomona Athletics and the Sports Performance Team understands the importance of proper nutrition for peak performance. Our registered dietitian and team nutrition educators, along with selected staff and peer educators from the
Human Nutrition and Food Science Department and Bronco Wellness Center, all serve as resources for our student-athletes. Information about the effects of proper nutrition on performance, recovery, injuries and over all wellness are addressed with each team. Student-athletes will also have access to all of these resources throughout the year to assist them in meeting their individual performance needs.
