Nutrition is important, by eating a balanced diet we are able to maintain a good level of health and wellbeing. In recent years there has been a growing focus placed on our nutritional intake, so much so that it has started to directly impact the food industry.
With the growing focus placed on our nutritional intake, people have become more aware about what they eat. More importantly people have become aware of how food affects their body and mind, something which is highlighted by documentaries such as That Sugar Film.
Put simply we have all become more aware and knowledgeable about our nutritional intake.
When it comes to personal training and wider sports the trend is no different, as the level of spotlight placed on nutritional intake is equal if not more. With sports personalities like David Haye and Jermaine Defoe coming out about their vegan diet and how it’s supplemented if not enhanced their performance, others are following suit in catering their diet towards their end goal, whether it be weight loss, getting stronger or even targeting a specific part of their body for muscle growth.
Aside from vegan diets, other sports stars such as Mo Farah have also been quite vocal about their diets and how it’s helped them to achieve the results they want.
All of this has resulted in a growing demand for personal trainers to have a wide knowledge of nutrition and personal training. More specifically, this has also resulted in people expecting personal trainers to be able to create nutrition plans that are able to enhance their performance, specific to the end goal of the client.
What this has meant for personal training training course providers is that nutrition now needs to be a key module within their courses.
