Distance Diploma in Sports and Exercise Nutrition
ISST is essentially the first institute that aims to provide a scientific approach to sports education and guidance to young people interested in sports. ISST creates a launchpad for those who wish to be actively involved in the sports industry.
Nutrition is one of the most important aspects responsible for the overall development of the human body, be it for an athlete or any fitness enthusiast. It is often neglected, which in turn, adversely affects performance.
When sports & fitness professionals are well versed with scientific nutrition principles and practices, it becomes easy for them to derive appropriate nutrient requirements for the athletes depending on the type, intensity, and duration of sport or fitness activity. This will definitely help reduce complications like injuries, dehydration, and fatigue resulting from the wrong choice of food and beverages.
