You'll get an in-depth examination of contemporary nutritional topics such as advanced sports nutrition, vitamin/protein supplementation, functional food implementation, antioxidants, and meal plan analysis for optimal performance. By the end of the program, you'll understand how to develop individualized sports nutrition programs for clients or patients.
