Sports and Performance Nutrition

Many clients can get confused by the array of different diets, supplements and programmes that will give them the optimum results, whether their aim is eating for endurance, size or power. You will look at eating strategies and supplements for different types of training as well as the benefits of supplements for enhancing your size, power and strength. This one day course will arm you with all the knowledge you need to create nutrition programmes to complement your clients training programmes. Leaving you even happier, healthier clients!

We can all benefit from a healthy balanced diet, that's a given. But most of us could do with some guidance when it comes to combining nutrition with a training programme. Many clients can find sports nutrition, supplements and eating to fuel their workouts confusing. This one day CPD workshop will provide you with all the knowledge you need to create nutrition programmes to complement their work out programmes. You will be assessed throughout the day by tutor observationand at the end of the day will do a short question and answer paper.
