(1888PressRelease) Since sports performance and nutrition go hand in hand, elite
trainers and coaches need to understand how the food their athletes eat can improve
their overall performance on the court, on the field and in life. Designed to help current
personal fitness trainers, strength coaches, group exercise teachers and martial arts
instructors learn more about the role of nutrition in sports performance, the National
Exercise & Sports Trainers Association (NESTA) now offers an online Sports Nutrition
Specialist certification program.

The 100 percent online, self-paced certification program is approved for continuing
education credits (CEUs) by NESTA, ITCA, MMACA, ISSA, NSCA, NASM and the
Spencer Institute. The online format includes PowerPoint lectures, a comprehensive
digital manual and preparation for the online exam with a holistic focus on nutrition for
optimizing physical performance.

"It has been said that about 80 percent of physical performance has to do with nutrition,
which means that food and fuel are a huge component of training, coaching and
athletics today," said John Spencer Ellis, founder of NESTA and creator of the Sports
Nutrition Specialist certification. "We designed this unique online certification to help
fitness professionals expand their knowledge base, so that they can see improved
results in their clients' performance as well as in their own business success."
The Sports Nutrition Specialist certification includes information on optimal nutritional
sources and levels for athletes of all kinds; essential nutritional aspects for optimal
performance; specific factors that affect the nutritional needs of athletes; effective and
safe nutritional strategies for specific energy systems; nutritional plans for specific
sports, activities and athlete types, and more. Further, the course offers insight on
athlete's dietary needs, the digestive system, energy systems and measuring energy,
macronutrients, weight loss, vitamins and supplements, translating research into
results, post-exercise nutrition and additional resources for learning.

"We know that what you eat before you exercise, race or perform truly affects the
outcome of that event, so it simply makes sense to want to understand more about how
nutrition influences performance and how athletes can use food and nutrition to excel
in their sport," Ellis added.
