Description:
The Fitness Academy Sports Nutrition Specialist Program is designed for health and sports professionals who want to gain a deeper understanding of nutrition, learn how to help others make healthy food choices and integrate them into their daily routines, and understand how to meet specific nutritional needs for different individuals.
You will learn how to guide people in selecting fresh, nutritionally valuable foods and combine this knowledge with behavior change strategies to help others turn smart choices into long-term habits.
Engaging in physical activity is vital for health and fitness, but it’s only half of the journey. Good nutrition is essential for a complete fitness routine. In many sports such as fitness, triathlon, running, volleyball, basketball, football, handball, swimming, and martial arts, mastering nutrition is even more challenging—and more important—than performing the sport itself. The foundation of helping yourself and others lead healthier lives lies in professionally combining nutrition with sports. Understanding nutrition requires more than knowing what to eat.
