About the Course:

The PG Diploma in Sports Nutrition is a rigorous 1-year professional program designed to equip learners with mastery in athlete nutrition, performance physiology, fueling strategies, hydration science, body composition management, and sports-specific diet planning.

The curriculum integrates exercise metabolism, training cycles, endurance and strength nutrition, injury recovery, ergogenic aids, anti-doping guidelines, and advanced supplement protocols. Students learn sport-specific diet design for athletes in endurance, power, team sports, combat sports, racquet sports, and weight-class disciplines.

The 3-month internship provides hands-on exposure to athlete assessments, competition planning, hydration strategies, and real-world performance nutrition interventions.

Course Objectives :

To understand exercise physiology and metabolism during rest, training, and competition.
To study energy systems (ATP-PC, glycolytic, oxidative) and their nutritional demands.
To design periodized nutrition plans aligned with an athlete’s training cycle.
To teach macronutrient and micronutrient needs for strength, endurance, and mixed sports.
To master hydration, electrolyte balance, and heat adaptation strategies.
To understand body composition, fat loss, and muscle-gain nutrition for athletes.
To design sport-specific fueling strategies for various disciplines.
To evaluate ergogenic aids, sports supplements, and legal performance enhancers.
To interpret athlete bloodwork and identify performance-limiting deficiencies.
To study injury recovery, inflammation management, and rehabilitation nutrition.
To design competition-day, pre-event, and post-event fueling protocols.
To understand anti-doping rules and safe supplement practices.
To coach athletes in weight-class sports (wrestling, boxing, MMA).
To develop psychological performance-support strategies through nutrition.
To prepare students for real-world athletic environments through practical internship exposure.

Key Learning Outcomes

Ability to assess athletes using anthropometry, body composition, RMR, hydration status, and performance indicators.
Expertise in designing individualized athlete meal plans based on sport, training volume, and metabolic needs.
Mastery over carbohydrate periodization, protein distribution, glycemic timing, and fat use in endurance sports.
Competence in hydration protocols using sodium strategies, sweat rate calculations, and heat adaptation.
Ability to plan fueling strategies for endurance (marathon, cycling), strength (powerlifting), and team sports (football, basketball).
Skill in nutrition for muscle hypertrophy, fat loss, lean mass gain, and metabolic conditioning.
Understanding of injury-recovery nutrition: collagen, protein dosing, omega-3s, antioxidants, creatine, vitamin D.
Expertise in supplements: creatine, beta-alanine, caffeine, citrulline, electrolytes, protein powders, HMB, BCAAs/EAAs.
Knowledge of anti-doping regulations, WADA-compliant supplements, and safety protocols.
Ability to design pre-, intra-, and post-training nutrition for optimal recovery.
Skill in managing digestive issues, cramps, and performance-related GI distress.
Ability to support weight-class athletes using safe cutting and rehydration methods.
Competence in evaluating lab markers affecting performance (ferritin, vitamin D, CK, electrolytes).
Confidence in writing sport-specific case studies and performance nutrition protocols.
Readiness to work with academies, sports teams, gyms, athletes, clinics, and performance centers after internship.
