Eating to Fuel Exercise By Tara Parker-Pope 
No matter what kind of exercise you do – whether it’s a run, gym workout or bike ride – you need food and water to fuel the effort and help you recover.

But what’s the best time to eat before and after exercise? Should we sip water or gulp it during a workout? For answers, I spoke with Leslie Bonci, director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and a certified specialist in sports dietetics. She’s also the author of a new book, “Sports Nutrition for Coaches” (Human Kinetics Publishers, July 2009). Here’s our conversation.

Conference in Thomond Park , Saturday August 29th 2009
Some Consultants at the Mid West Regional Hospitals who are actively involved in a variety of sports are organising a conference “Update on Sports Science & Medicine” on the 29th August.   The aim is to afford persons involved in sport as coaches, managers, physios or medics an opportunity to hear some of the latest information and research relating to sports science and medicine. This will allow great access to experts in a manner that is often difficult to organise. Ample time will be given to allow questions and discussion.
