Sports Nutrition Specialist Course

Aim: To qualify professionals to design comprehensive nutritional plans tailored to various athletic goals (muscle gain, fat loss, performance enhancement), backed by a deep understanding of body chemistry and the relationship between nutrition and physical activity.

The curriculum bridges the gap between scientific foundations (Metabolism and Physiology) and applied skills (Meal Planning and Supplementation), ensuring the specialist’s ability to handle diverse physical cases.

This course qualifies you to master:

Caloric Calculation – Macro Partitioning – Obesity & Underweight Management – Supplement Programming – Elite Athlete Nutrition – Biomarker Interpretation.

The course is suitable for trainers, health graduates, and those seeking to master the science of performance nutrition.

• Course Objectives

 * Prepare specialists capable of building high-end, customized meal plans.

 * Understand metabolic processes and how the body converts food into energy.

 * Master the skill of reading food labels and analyzing nutritional components.

 * Learn evidence-based supplementation based on actual physiological needs.

 * Develop psychological and motivational follow-up skills for long-term adherence.

 * Link specific nutritional protocols to athletic disciplines (Strength, Endurance, Speed).

Who Is This Course For?

 * Personal Trainers aiming to provide a 360-degree service to their clients.

 * Graduates of Health, Science, or Physical Education faculties.

 * Individuals looking to enter the field of sports nutrition consulting.

 * Athletes wanting to understand the science behind fueling their own bodies.

Expected Learning Outcomes

Upon completion, the trainee will be able to:

 * Design complete monthly nutritional cycles for any athletic goal.

 * Precisely calculate requirements for Protein, Carbohydrates, and Fats.

 * Select appropriate supplements and determine optimal dosages and timing.

 * Scientifically identify and overcome weight-loss plateaus.

 * Analyze body composition (InBody) and determine the correct path forward.

 * Adjust nutritional plans based on body response and performance data.
