Feed for Speed: Sports Nutrition for Peak Performance Seminar

This Seminar is also available On-Site for groups of 20 or more.

Develop nutritional guidelines for athletes and active individuals across a continuum of training, competition and recovery, evaluate popular nutrition supplements for safety and effectiveness and discuss the needs of special populations.

Course Description/Agenda

Athletes are inundated with nutrition information from various, and often unreliable, sources on a daily basis. Unfortunately, this impressionable population is not always able to discern credible advice from clever marketing. The desire to be better, stronger and faster continues to fuel this appetite for information. Moreover, proper nutrition and hydration are critical for optimal performance and for the health and safety of the individual. Professionals working with athletes and active individuals must be equipped with practical, reliable information in order to provide appropriate nutritional guidance.

This one-day seminar will provide you with the latest sports nutrition information to help your clients achieve their performance goals. You will sort fact from fiction as it relates to performance nutrition. Attendees will examine the latest research regarding meal planning and nutrition supplementation for active individuals, including those who are vegetarians, those who are pregnant, children, adolescents and other special populations. This comprehensive seminar will equip you with valuable information to help your clients, whether they are weekend warriors or world-class athletes, safely and effectively achieve their goals of getting "bigger, stronger and faster." Real-life case studies will be reviewed throughout the seminar so that you can begin to put information into action the very next day.
