Abstract :

Sports nutrition is a dynamic profession that is becoming an essential part of the collegiate athletes training protocol. The Ohio State University has become a leader in responding to the nutritional needs of the collegiate athlete. As the essential research continues in the sports nutrition field, the Sports Nutrition Team at OSU works dilegently in the trenches with the athletes to help them perform at an elite level. The availability of nutritional food, rigorous athletic and academic schedules, lack of sports nutrition education and dealing with independence when making choices are the reality when working with the collegiate athlete. This oral presentation presents a look of the growth of sports nutrition on the collegiate level.
