About the course
The aim of this course is for you, with academic prior knowledge in physiology and nutrition, to obtain an advanced and broad knowledge of theory and practice in sports nutrition. This is valuable both for those who want to work with nutrition coaching for elite athletes and elite exercisers, regardless of age, or intend to work with research and development in the field. For example, the course provides advanced knowledge in the biochemistry of nutrition, nutritional needs, dietary supplements, energy needs, eating disorders, body composition and counseling.
The course is given at half-speed (50% of full-time) via online teaching that is carried out at a distance and largely at your own pace. The course also offers nine full days on site at GIH, spread out over the semester, where the focus is on internships in body composition, metabolism and nutritional counseling.
