Sports Medicine and Nutrition

Sports medicine is a branch of medicine that deals with physical fitness and the treatment and prevention of injuries related to sports and exercise. Sports medicine is not just for professional athletes.

Sports nutrition differs from regular nutrition because athletes require different amounts of nutrients compared to nonathletes. In order to perform optimally, you need to train hard and fuel your body appropriately. There is no substitute or supplement for a well-balanced diet. A healthy, energy-dense diet provides the body with the necessary energy to perform your best, while also preventing early fatigue and potential injury. Our Sports Nutrition program is specifically designed by sports medicine experts to meet the unique energy needs of adolescents and serious athletes. What is a Registered Dietitian? Registered Dietitians are food and nutrition experts that have completed a minimum of a bachelor’s degree at an accredited university by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics as well as a supervised practice internship program. Registered dietitians have passed a national examination administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration and are required to complete continuing professional educational requirements to maintain registration.
