Performance Nutrition In Rugby Seminar At IIP

Munster Rugby hosted a ‘Performance Nutrition In Rugby’ seminar last night at Irish Independent Park.

University of Limerick Masters students Kellie Yanek and Sinead Dempsey presented the seminar which was attended by over 30 rugby coaches.

The presentation focused on nutrition in sport with particular attention to the 14 to 18 year old player.

Munster Rugby Performance Nutritionist Catherine Norton, who supervises the Masters Study at UL, was in attendance for an interactive Q&A session with the coaches following the presentation.

Coaches are tasked to follow up the study by completing a post seminar questionnaire and will be given a performance nutrition handbook designed by the students identifying some best practice tips on nutrition in rugby.
