Key highlights

  • Performance is determined by the interaction between training stimulus, nutrition, recovery, and evidence-based supplementation strategies.
  • A range of well-characterised ingredients, including caffeine, creatine, and beta-alanine, have demonstrated evidence-based roles in supporting acute exercise performance when used appropriately.
  • Targeted nutraceuticals may support key physiological systems involved in energy production, inflammation, neuromuscular function, and adaptation.
  • Adequate fuelling, hydration, sleep, and structured recovery are foundational to all performance outcomes.
