This one-day seminar will take you through the basic principles and philosophies of sports nutrition as it can be applied by natural therapists. How eating for sport and exercise differs from daily eating, how to assess what an athlete may need for their training and sport and why it’s so vital to performance. Topics covered will include: basic review of exercise physiology, macronutrients, hydration practices, understanding how to apply the principles learned, case studies, kids sport nutrition and working with drug tested athletes. This is a full day of information and its application in clinical practice.
