The MPC offers a range of Sports Nutrition workshops and one to one consultations to help athletes have a better understanding of the impact of nutrition on performance.

Staff at the MPC can provide information on the basic nutritional principles underpinning performance, the components of good sports nutrition and how eating and drinking the right foods and fluids may have a significant impact upon the quality of training and overall performance.

Following the completion of a seven day diary, food diary analysis can be conducted using specialist nutritional analysis software. Detailed feedback on diet and its potential impact on performance is supplied, as well as providing a series of nutritional recommendations.

Previous clients include: Worcester Rowing Club, Birmingham City FC Academy and FA England Senior Women’s Football Squad. Anyone interested in learning more about Sports Nutrition should contact mpc@worc.ac.uk.
