Introduction
The Australian Sports Commission and the Australian Institute of Sport do not provide direct personal nutrition advice. For personal nutrition advice please contact Sports Dietitians Australia who will be able to give you a list of sports dietitians in your local area.
The AIS Sports Nutrition Department offers some excellent online resources.
If you are searching for information on sports nutrition topics, the Pubmed database may be useful.
