Abstract

Nutrition and Dietetics sport dietitians athletes food
This practical workshop will cover the various aspects of food provision for athletes and will be of particular relevance to sport dietitians. There will be an introduction to the factors that influence food selection in athletes, issues relevant to catering for athletic populations and the role of a sports dietitian in food service. Each presenter will provide a brief overview of their own experience working in food provision for athletes. This will include residential food provision for athletes, travelling with groups of athletes, catering for individuals and groups of athletes, and catering for elite level competition. Factors such as menu design, taste and visual appeal of food items, menu labelling systems, provision for special diets, creating standardized meals and training catering staff will also be discussed. This will be followed by a panel discussion with input from the audience.
