Sports Nutrition & Performance Optimization

Training Overview

Sports Nutrition & Performance Optimization is a comprehensive, simulation-based educational program designed to enhance the scientific knowledge, practical application skills, and performance-oriented decision-making of nutrition and dietetics professionals working with active individuals and athletes. Hosted at the ADN CoE Training, Research Center & Core Lab, this two-day program integrates structured theoretical education with interactive simulations and case-based learning, focusing on optimizing performance, recovery, and injury prevention through evidence-based nutrition strategies.

The course covers macronutrient and micronutrient requirements for different sports disciplines, hydration strategies, body composition management, supplementation, and nutrition periodization. Emphasis is placed on tailoring nutrition plans according to training load, competition phases, and individual performance goals.

Through interactive simulation workshops, participants analyze athlete profiles, training schedules, and performance data to design personalized nutrition strategies. Training is conducted under the supervision of expert sports dietitians, clinicians, and international faculty, reinforcing applied learning and real-world decision-making.

In addition to hands-on simulations, the program includes expert-led discussions on anti-doping considerations, injury recovery nutrition, and interdisciplinary collaboration with coaches and sports medicine teams. Case-based sessions address common challenges in elite and recreational sports nutrition practice.

By the end of the program, participants will have strengthened their ability to apply nutrition strategies that enhance athletic performance, recovery, and long-term health.
