What an athlete consumes before, during and after exercise is important for comfort and performance during exercise. While eating soon before exercise doesn't provide the bulk of the fuel needed for the activity, it can prevent the distracting symptoms of hunger during exercise. The major source of fuel for active muscles is carbohydrate which gets stored in the muscles as glycogen in the days before exercise. This is one reason that the post-exercise meal is critical to recovery and being ready for the next exercise session.
When To EatExercising on a full stomach is not ideal. Food that remains in your stomach during an event may cause stomach upset, nausea, and cramping. To make sure you have enough energy, yet reduce stomach discomfort, you should allow a meal to fully digest before the start of the event. This generally takes 1 to 4 hours, depending upon what and how much you've eaten. Everyone is a bit different, and you should experiment prior to workouts to determine what works best for you.
If you have an early morning race or workout, it's best to get up early enough to eat your pre-exercise meal. If not, you should try to eat or drink something easily digestible about 20 to 30 minutes before the event. The closer you are to the time of your event, the less you should eat. You can have a liquid meal closer to your event than a solid meal because your stomach digests liquids faster.
What To EatBecause glucose is the preferred energy source for most exercise, a pre-exercise meal should include foods that are high in carbohydrates and easy to digest. This include foods such as pasta, fruits, breads, energy bars and drinks. Also see: Energy for Exercise - Fat or Carbs?
PlanningPlanning is essential if you are competing in an all-day event, such as track meets or other tournaments. Consider the time of your event, the amount of your meal and the energy required. Also, be aware of the amount of fluid you consume. You should plan ahead and prepare meals and snacks that you have tried before and know will sit well with you. Do not experiment with something new on the event day.
Suggested Pre-Exercise Foods Eating before exercise is something only the athlete can determine based upon experience, but some general guidelines include eating a solid meal 4 hours before exercise, a snack or a high carbohydrate energy drink 2 to 3 hours before exercise, and fluid replacement (sports drink) 1 hour before exercise.
1 hour or less before competition
· fruit or vegetable juice such as orange, tomato, or V-8, and/or
· fresh fruit such as apples, watermelon, peaches, grapes, or oranges and/or
· Energy gels
· up to 1 1/2 cups of a sports drink.
2 to 3 hours before competition
· fresh fruit
· fruit or vegetable juices
· bread, bagels
· low-fat yogurt
· sports drink
3 to 4 hours before competition
· fresh fruit
· fruit or vegetable juices
· bread, bagels
· pasta with tomato sauce
· baked potatoes
· energy bar
· cereal with low-fat milk
· low-fat yogurt
· toast/bread with limited peanut butter, lean meat, or low-fat cheese
· 30 oz of a sports drink
Sugar and PerformanceIf you are an endurance athlete, evidence suggests that eating some sugar (like energy bars, some types of candy bars, or sports drinks) 35 to 40 minutes before an event may provide energy (glucose) to your exercising muscles when your other energy stores have dropped to low levels. However, you should experiment with such strategies before competition because some people do not perform well after a blood glucose spike.
Caffeine and Performance. Caffeine acts as a stimulant on the central nervous system. It had been thought to boost endurance by stimulating a greater use of fat for energy, and thereby reserving glycogen in the muscles. Research, however, doesn't support that theory. When caffeine improves endurance, it does so by acting as a stimulant.
Caffeine can have serious side effects for some people. Those who are very sensitive to its effects may experience nausea, muscle tremors, and headaches. Too much caffeine is a diuretic, and can result in dehydration, which decreases performance.
Foods to Avoid Before Exercise Any foods with a lot of fat can be very difficult and slow to digest and remain in the stomach a long time. They also will pull blood into the stomach to aid in digestion, which can cause cramping and discomfort. Meats, doughnuts, fries, potato chips, and candy bars should be avoided in a pre-exercise meal.
Keep in mind that everyone is a bit different and what works for you may not work for you teammate or training partner. Factor in individual preferences and favorite foods, and an eating plan is a highly individualize thing.

Singapore, the host for the Summer Youth Olympic Games
The Olympic Games symbol...

Innsbruck, the host for the Winter Youth Olympic Games





The Summer Youth Olympic Games will be held here in Singapore in 2010,
whereas the Winter Youth Olympic Games will be held in Innsbruck in 2012,which is the capital city of the federal state of Tyrol in western Austria...
The Youth Olympic Games (YOG) are planned to be an international multi-sport event held every four years in staggered summer and winter events complementing the current Olympic Games,and will feature athletes between the ages of 14 and 18.The idea for such an event was envisioned in 2001 by International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Jacques Rogge.On July 6, 2007, IOC members at the 119th IOC session in Guatemala City approved the creation of a youth version of the Olympic Games.
The summer version will last at most twelve days, with the first edition taking place in mid-summer of 2010; the winter version will last a maximum of nine days, with the first edition taking place in early 2012.The IOC will allow a maximum of 3,500 athletes and 875 officials to participate at the summer games, while 970 athletes and 580 officials are expected at the winter games.
Several other Olympic events for youth, like the European Youth Olympic Festival held every other year with summer and winter versions, and the Australian Youth Olympic Festival, have proven successful; the Youth Games would most likely be modeled after these.The YOG are a successor to the discontinued World Youth Games.
The sports contested at these games will be the same as those scheduled for the traditional Games,but with a limited number of disciplines and events.Of the 26 sports, the IOC plans, for example, not to include the water polo and synchronized swimming disciplines of aquatics, as well as the slalom discipline of canoeing on the schedule of events.The basketball competition may be “streetball”, in which games are held outside and sometimes with fewer players. The cycling disciplines are mountain bike and BMX, and road and track cycling were left off the schedule.Baseball and softball were also not included on the list of sports.Other youth-driven sports may eventually be contested if backed by international sports federations.In November 2007, it was revealed that pentathlon will be included, as well as sailing, giving an edge to applicants near water.
The Winter edition will contest seven sports. Luge and bobsled are possible casualties considering the small number of worldwide venues and restrictions in building new venues.In the bidding for the first edition, one bid city was nevertheless planning to construct a bobsled/sleigh run (Harbin), while another was not offering bobsled as an event (Kuopio).
Another difference is that no national flags or anthems will be utilized. During medal ceremonies, only the Olympic flag and the Olympic anthem will be seen and heard in order to deemphasize international competition.
In early November 2007, Athens, Bangkok, Singapore, Moscow, and Turin were selected by the International Olympic Committee as the five candidate cities among which the host city will be elected for the Inaugural Games. In January 2008, the candidates were further pared down to just Moscow and Singapore. Finally, on 21 February 2008, Singapore was declared host of the inaugural Youth Olympic Games 2010 via live telecast from Lausanne, Switzerland, winning by a tally of 53 votes to 44 for Moscow.

I hope that's enough...
