The Dairy Council for Northern Ireland hosted a Sports Nutrition seminar on the 11th November.
We were delighted to be joined by Dr Oliver Witard, Reader in Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism at King’s College London who gave new perspectives on protein nutrition, looking at protein recommendations for endurance sports.
This was followed by practical sports nutrition insights from Lucy Wainwright who is Women's Performance Nutrition Lead at The Football Association. Lucy spoke about her role at The FA including with the Lionesses in the UEFA Women's EURO 2025.
We were also delighted to have Paralympic and Olympic gold medallist swimmers Bethany Firth OBE and Jack McMillan with us in conversation with Professor Sharon Madigan.
Sharon, who is Head of Performance Nutrition at Sport Ireland Institute, also chaired the seminar.
