Abstract des Autors
The purpose of this letter is to initiate dialogue and to open discussions for the purpose of developing coherent guidelines regarding fitness professionals providing basic and well-accepted nutrition advice/counseling. Confusion in this area may be the result of several factors, including the different state laws that govern nutritional practices within each state, a lack of operational definitions of terms, and general misinformation. It is the opinion of the authors of this letter that the fitness professional should be allowed to provide basic nutrition advice to clients and athletes as it relates to sports or exercise goals. The fitness professional should not provide medical nutrition therapy or advice since it does not fall within their expertise or scope of practice. Verf.-Referat
