Show all reviewsIch denke als Hobbysportler ist das eine solide Schnellbleiche. Auch wenn ich manche Dinge erst in der Lernkontrolle gelernt habe, kann ich einem Anfänger fundiert helfen. Andere Supplemente als Kreatin wurden nicht behandelt. Das finde ich ein bisschen schade, obwohl ich auch glaube, dass die kaum eine Rolle spielen.
When it comes to muscle building, nutrition takes a central role alongside training. This module deals with the various nutrients in relation to the effect on muscle building. Once you have finished it, you can not only give practical nutrition recommendations with the goal of muscle building – with the background knowledge you have gained you can also explain which assumptions those recommendations rest on.
What you learn
- The factors that influence muscle building, and how they interact
- Protein in muscle building: significance, requirement and use
- Creatine as one of the best researched supplements
- Relating the various nutrients specifically to the goal of muscle building
- Formulating practical nutrition recommendations for muscle building
- Explaining which assumptions the common recommendations are based on
Who the workshop suits
The workshop is aimed at fitness and personal trainers, athletics coaches and advisers who hear the same questions about protein and supplements in the weights room again and again and want to answer them robustly. Because the workshop does not stop at the recommendations but lays open the assumptions behind them, you can afterwards also explain why a widespread rule does not fit in a particular case. It is one module of the Sports Nutrition Coach training programme and can be taken on its own.

Where things go from here
In practice, muscle building and fat loss are mostly planned together – the other side is covered by the Nutrition for Fat Loss workshop. The intake figures for protein, fats and carbohydrates are deepened by the Nutrients workshop. All the modules together make up the Sports Nutrition Coach training programme; you will find the overview of the individual courses under Nutrition Workshops.
