Nutrition course launched by Sportwise
A new SkillsActive-accredited Level 4 course designed to improve the nutritional knowledge of personal trainers has been launched by Sportwise Education and Training.
Developed by Dr Gary Mendoza, the Advanced Nutrition and Supplementation programme aims to give health and fitness professionals a sound understanding in nutrition.
It follows a legal case in the US, where a personal trainer was sued after advising the use of a supplement that is believed to have been responsible for the death of a client.
According to Sportwise, its new course includes fundamental biochemistry and physiology associated with energy metabolism and considers all supplements currently available.
The course is delivered over four days and provides a "comprehensive manual", which has been shaped with the help of more than 500 peer-reviewed references.
