does anybody know the best way to get into sports physio/sports nutrition.
what corses did you study at college/university

The best thing to do is to visit college websites or a career counselor. And then go into the department webpage and look to see if they have this major. It can also be called Kinesiology (like it is at Fresno State and Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo-I believe). If you do the research for which schools offer the programs then you will have different colleges to choose from.
Normally, you start out with the lower division classes like the theories and the sciences like anatomy and physiology and basic nutrition. You also may have to take a class where you volunteer in the locker room and work with athletes or shadow coaches and professors in this major. After the lower division classes you begin to take the classes that are more geared towards which specialty you want to major and minor (if you want) in.
There are programs all over the United States that offer these majors. If you have some free time, research which schools you are interested in first to see if they offer your major and then go from there!
Good Luck!

I want to study nutrition, but i’ve only studied sport science at btec national diploma, so i have no experience in biology at a level. Would this mean going onto a foundation course to start with, before studying for the proper degree course? Thing is i’m 21 at the moment, and i didn’t really want to study for an extra year. If i had too, then i guess i would.

best thing to do is phone the institution that you want to go to, and see what they say. It could mean that you’ll have to do a foundation year, like you said.

I need to invent a sports drink that can be consumed during an activity or a sport. That will be able to give you energy and help you gain electrolytes that you lost from sweat. What ingredients should i put in my drink. that will help it to fit the standards that i need. Is vitamins good?

A basic sports drink consists of carbohydrates in the form of glucose and fructose, water and salt, so I would suggest:

1 litre water
250ml orange squash
couple of pinches of salt

More complex sports drinks such as isotonics work to replace the minerals lost as you sweat. According the the linked site "a litre of sweat typically contains 0.02g Calcium, 0.05g Magnesium, 1.15g Sodium, 0.23g Potassium and 1.48g Chloride". So you could add these to a basic sports drink to create an isotonic drink.

this is for collage work so no sillly answers please.

I would say you would identify calorific values of foodstuffs consumed & add them together


Stop the nonsense. Snake oil salesmen abound. Use common sense and your doctor’s advice; don’t expect anything but scams from so-called "alternative medicine" practitioners. Wasting your money on crap like that is like giving donations to organized crime.

This maybe filmed and will be in an auditorium. Its for a sports nutrition class

The standard business suit.

Thanks

In other terms which not only builds muscle and tones your body but also helps you loose fat and gives you more power, strength.

Protein. Protein shakes are the #1 supplement among people who weight train regularly, whether it be bodybuilders or powerlifters. Whether they are looking to tone and lose some fat or looking to bulk up.

I am 25 currently in full time employment which i dont like. I want to find a career. I dont think i can afford full time education again, best way would be to work and gain a qualification as i go, anyone know how i could go about his?

I discovered a company that addresses all your concerns. It’s presently called Ideal Health but is undergoing a serious change and turnover in the Company. Someone very wealthy and powerful purchased the company and will launch it officially in November. Right now the company is preparing for that big day when people Like Oprah will talk about it. The company promotes health and awareness through their weight loss program and customized vitamin program. I lost 21 pounds on it and love the vitamins. I sleep better at night while working full time and raising two young boys. If you are interested just let me know and I’ll tell you more. I love it.

I am looking for something in northern illinois, wisconsin, maybe iowa, maybe northern Missouri. I am a Missouri resident. I am looking for a good respected program but am not finding much.

I am already looking into UW-Madison and University of Illinois at Chicago. If you have an opinion on those two school that would be nice to hear as well.

Thank you.
I didnt find anything on university of iowa website. Did I just miss it?

Here is the link to the list of schools that are accredited to off nutrition
