The fifth edition of Sports Nutrition with Nancy Clark CE Course from Nancy Clark, an internationally respected sports nutritionist and registered dietitian who specializes in nutrition for exercise and health and the nutritional management of eating disorders, provides comprehensive coverage for working with athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike. Using content from the best-selling sports nutrition book on the market, Nancy Clark’s Sports Nutrition Guidebook, Fifth Edition, this course contains information on the nutrition needs of both sexes in several sports; the female athlete triad; guidelines on clean eating; updated intake tables and recommendations for sodium, sugar, and vitamin D; and risks and warning signs of overhydration (EAH). Learners will also access information on supplements, energy drinks, and nutrient timing as well as an entire section on balancing weight and activity. The more than 100 pages of easy-to-use recipes help maximize nutrition and facilitate cooking and preparing meals at home using common ingredients.

This course includes access to the webinar Making Sense of the Commercial Sports Food Scene, which provides an overview of the importance of appropriate fueling before, during, and after exercise and highlights some of the commercial foods that athletes commonly consume, such as sport drinks, energy drinks, gels, energy bars, protein bars, and recovery foods. Learners will discover how these products affect the body and athletic performance and therefore be better able to guide athletes and clients on appropriate fueling tactics.

An accompanying study guide outlines the course’s learning objectives, emphasizing the key points to learn and help learners prepare for the course exam. The study guide includes a table of contents, course syllabus, key terminology, chapter activities, webinar outline, and referenced answer key to the study guide.

This self-guided course allows learners to work at their own pace and explore the material through a comprehensive text and study guide, finishing with a 100-question exam composed of multiple-choice and true-or-false questions.
