SPORTS DIETETICS AND NUTRITION
GEELONG
You don’t need to be an athlete to see a Sports Dietitian!
If you are active and want to improve your nutrition for your general health and wellbeing in addition to supporting your performance and recovery, a Sports Dietitian can help you.
An Accredited Sports Dietitian provides accurate nutrition information and advice, based on scientific evidence to all active individuals. Their role is to maximise performance through nutrition by providing practical strategies, as well as support to athletes and active individuals regarding their nutrition intake. Sports nutrition isn’t only for elite athletes, but the everyday active individual as well.
Our Accredited Sports Dietitians can cater for the person who is working full time and training for a marathon or an Iron Man, the mum who is trying to fit in training between dropping kids to school and working as well, or the student trying to juggle staying active with study and working part time.
They can work with you to develop strategies regarding timing of food and fluids, integrate supplement policies and protocols, and manage body composition to help athletes enhance performance and minimise injury risk.
