Overview

Sportsmen and women are no longer leaving anything to chance in the preparation for and duration of competition. Good, sound nutritional advice is now being sought by those who are very serious about competing, and dietary planning for a sporting event is now becoming just as important as psychological and physical preparation.

Those therapists involved in sports nutrition may find our sportsnutrition training course a valuable aid in clarifying and summarising a number of issues. The role of each nutrient group will be covered and its appropriate inclusion into different sports will be discussed throughout.

The information in our sports nutrition training course can be applied to numerous professional roles as well as your personal life. Whether you are a personal trainer looking to enhance your knowledge base, a triathlete hoping to improve your performance and endurance, or a parent who wants to give their child the best nutritional support through their active life, this course will give you the necessary knowledge and understanding essential to effectively fuelling your body for sport.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
