PSC hosts Sports Nutrition Day seminar for athletes

The Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) is organizing a two-day seminar called Sports Nutrition Day from May 6 to 7 at PhilSports in Pasig City.

This event aims to educate both regular and para athletes on sports nutrition and health, with the theme 'Evolving Field of Sports Nutrition: Elevating Athletes' Performance', focusing on major competitions like the Southeast Asian Games, Asian Games, and Olympics.

Topics covered include weight management, hydration optimization, caffeine use, recovery nutrition, and understanding supplements, alongside practical approaches to enhance athletes' performance.

Commissioner Matthew Gaston emphasized the importance of proper nutrition for high-level performance, stating that champions prioritize their diet as much as training.

Around 100 national athletes and coaches are expected to attend each day, with a special focus on para athletes on the second day.

Supportive partners such as Summit Natural Drinking Water and Milo Philippines will provide product giveaways during the event.
