This course, offered in cooperation with the American Academy of Health and Fitness provides scientifically based nutrition guidelines for a wide range of physically active clients – including vegetarians, pregnant and menopausal women, children and adolescents, older adults, people with diabetes, those with eating disorders and participants in weight-restricted sports.

This programme is ideal for athletic trainers, physical therapists, personal trainers and other health and fitness professionals.
