This 100% online postgraduate certificate will allow you to combine your studies with your professional work while increasing your knowledge in this field”

This postgraduate certificate focuses on the aspects less studied during the university career, allowing to broaden the knowledge necessary to cover a wide spectrum of potential athletes, as well as to meet their nutritional needs.

More and more athletes are opting for a diet that excludes foods of animal origin, whether for religious, ethical, environmental, etc. reasons. It has been seen that no food in itself is essential in the diet, because we can obtain the different nutrients in different food sources. However, due to the increased requirements of the athlete population, and the risk involved in excluding any food group in obtaining nutrients, nutritional support is necessary in this type of population by a dietitian-nutritionist who is able to provide the athlete with the best options and food combinations.
