Frequently Asked Questions

Nutrition is important to athletes because it provides the source of energy needed to perform activities. The food we eat affects our strength, training, performance and recovery. Not only is the type of food important to sports nutrition, but the time we eat throughout the day can also affect our performance levels and the body's ability to recover from exercise.

Pre- and post-workout meals are important in sports nutrition, but you should be very careful about what you eat. In general, athletes should eat about two hours before training, and this meal should be high in carbohydrates, low in fat, and low in protein. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy to fuel your exercise program, and protein is needed to support muscle growth and repair. After a workout, you need to replace lost carbohydrates, and you need to ensure adequate muscle recovery by including protein in your post-workout meals.

A day in the life of a sports nutritionist is varied and involves different tasks. These include:

  • Providing nutritional education and services to athletes
  • Consulting with athletes to help them develop optimal eating habits.
  • Design menus,
  • Recommend vitamins and supplements,
  • Provide nutritional advice for athletes.

Effective sports nutritionists often possess a range of skills to succeed in their profession. These include:

  • Networking.
  • Active listening.
  • Critical thinking.
  • Teaching.
  • Biological knowledge.
  • Nutritional knowledge.
  • Organisation.
  • Communication.

All of these are skills that will be worked on during the Master in Sports Training and Nutrition, via classroom theory, but more importantly, practical based learning and spending time within companies and organisations in the sector.

Real Madrid Graduate School - Universidad Europea has an official Master's degree in training and sports nutrition. The status of its faculty and guest speakers, as well as the facilities of the Villaviciosa de Odón Campus, makes it the perfect place for this specific training.

Not only that, but the global and multicultural vision of our University will allow you to work with classmates from all over the world, providing a much broader vision, and increasing your network of contacts.

Finally, we must highlight the professional opportunity that this Master represents thanks to the learning experience in which practice takes precedence and work with real projects and companies and additionally by the numerous sports entities in which you have the opportunity to carry out professional internships.
