WELCOME!
Good nutrition and athletic performance go hand in hand. The MIT athlete
must take extraordinary steps to be successful in the athletic and academic
rigors of college life. Health, and a good diet in particular, are often
forgotten.. Time demands can increase stress to the point where good nutrition,
adequate sleep, and rest and relaxation frequently take a back seat to
the student-athlete's academic and athletic demands.
Student-athletes who are concerned about good nutrition frequently don’t
have the time to find out what foods comprise a healthy diet nor how much
or when they should eat. Information found at various web sites and other
media formats such as books, magazines and television can be confusing.
The MIT Sports Medicine Staff has attempted to provide the MIT student-athlete
with timely and useful information in order to assist him or her toward
a successful and healthy competition experience.
