Athletes require complex carbs & protein prior competitions. These ensure availability of glucose throughout the activity. During the activity sips of salt sugar water prevents dehydration. Post workout, coconut water/ lemonade/ fruit juice/ banana provides instant energy. Caffeine is a diuretic & can lead to dehydration.
