SPORTS NUTRITION

For young athletes, nutrition is an integral component to achieving optimal performance in sports. Making smart dietary choices can provide energy to improve athletic ability, protect against injury and encourage optimal recovery. With so much information, it can be challenging to learn the foundations, and gain the right guidance. In this workshop, students partake in learning activities that support their understanding of Nutrition for Sport and Recreation. Fueling before, during and after training, timing, best strategies for meal planning and grocery shopping, safe sport supplement use, and best nutrition to support injury and healing are some of the topics discussed. Topics can be adjusted according to the request of the educator.  Workshops are provided by Registered Dietician/Nutritionist facilitators, with a specialization in Sports Nutrition.
