| Sports Performance and Integrative Nutrition Program Description |
| The proposed PBC in Sports Performance and Integrative Nutrition offers nutrition and sports and fitness professionals an opportunity to blend foundational knowledge in holistic nutrition with a broader perspective on the role of nutrition in sports and athletic performance. With an emphasis on whole foods, students will examine diets that maximize nutrients and will learn how to plan and prepare meals to support both physical and mental athletic performance. As a stand-alone certificate, the three-trimester program can provide a complementary add-on to other MUIH degrees as well as to the student’s initial baccalaureate degree. <br> <br>The proposed PBC in Sports Performance and Integrative Nutrition is a three-trimester, five- course (13-credit) online certificate that can be completed in one year. The program is designed for sports performance professionals who work with individuals and/or groups, including nutritionists and registered dieticians as well as personal trainers; strength and conditioning coaches; athletic and sports trainers and coaches; exercise specialists; and fitness professionals. It will equip them with the skills to plan diets and prepare meals that maximize nutrients and support athletic performance. <br> |
