Athletes and Active People Need Optimal Nutrition
Proper nutrition is essential for athletes and energetic people who wish to perform at their best. With so much dietary information available, it may be tough to differentiate reality from fiction. The drive to obtain a competitive advantage makes sportsmen vulnerable to marketing ploys and gimmicks that promise instant success. Many athletes are squandering time and money, and some may be jeopardizing their long-term health.

This video will equip you with a nutrition playbook to assist your clients in meeting their athletic performance objectives. Professionals that deal with athletes must be reliable and competent resources who provide easy, practical, and time-tested answers to their customers’ sports nutrition issues. This DVD will provide listeners with the most recent evidence-based research in the areas of athlete meal planning, nutrient timing and periodization, and efficient nutritional supplement usage. During the recording, participants will be able to apply sports nutrition research into practice through hands-on demonstrations, sample laboratory results, and case studies.
