Performance Coach Screening
Whatever your goals or objectives, be it recovering from an injury, competing in your first triathlon, or just getting yourself fit and healthy there is a right and efficient way to go about your training. A full screening and program design from one of Pure Sports Medicine Performance Coaches will ensure that you are making the most of the time you put into your training and training safely. Your individualised program will ensure that you remain on target for all of your goals, and reach them injury free.
You are an individual and your body will have individual needs when it comes to your training, and it is this that makes it so important to go about it the right way. A full strength and fitness screening from one of Pure Sports Medicines Performance Coaches will make sure that all your training is heading the right way and you get all the recommendations on appropriate strength training for your performance needs.
The main objectives of our Performance Coaches are to improve an individual’s strength, endurance, speed, flexibility, agility, power, CV fitness and weight loss. Appropriate strength and conditioning programs are absolutely critical in enhancing performance, but also play a key role in preventing and rehabilitating injuries.
Our Performance Coaches are experienced in working with elite athletes and currently work with professional teams. However, the principles of high performance training as applied at the elite level can be just as effective for the general population irrespective of their athletic prowess. Programs are individually tailored to cater for each individual’s specific ability, needs, and sport.
Nutritional Therapy Screening
The support of a qualified Nutritional Therapist can make it easier to take your health into your own hands. With this Performance Package our Nutritional Therapist will work alongside you and your Performance Coach to keep you at optimum health, to make sure you are fuelling your body correctly to get the best from your training programme and provide you with the knowledge you need to make healthy food choices. It is important to recognise that everyone is an individual; therefore our Nutritional Therapist will ensure that the advice and information given to you is tailored to your specific health concerns and lifestyle.
Nutritional therapy encompasses the use of carefully compiled individual prescriptions for diet and lifestyle in order to alleviate or prevent ailments and promote optimal health and performance. Our Nutritional Therapist can provide guidance on methods to support digestion and absorption, natural detoxification, procedures to promote colon health, the avoidance of ingestion or inhalation of toxins or allergens and the appropriate use of supplementary nutrients. Nutritional therapists often work with patients who have chronic health problems that conventional medicine finds difficult to treat. These include allergies, digestive and bowel disorders, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, depression or stress, auto-immune conditions, weight loss, migraine and skin disorders.
Sports Specific Nutrition
Nutrition has a vast amount to offer the athlete. A poor diet will prevent a good athlete from achieving their potential. Area's in which Nutrition can contribute to improved performance include; Functional nutrition for the travelling athlete, hydration, Iron depletion, making weight in sport, pre and post competition nutrition, supplements and sports foods, training nutrition and vitamin, mineral and antioxidant needs of athletes
The consultation process:
- Prior to the first session you will be posted a questionnaire enquiring about your health history along with a food diary to complete.
- During the first session the nutritional therapist will focus on creating a picture of your current health status, your lifestyle and dietary habits.
- You will be provided with some initial dietary recommendations and it may be necessary at this stage to order certain functional tests (e.g. Food Allergen Cellular testing, Osteoporosis Risk Assessment, Cardiovascular Risk Assessment, Anaemia profile, Gut Permeability) to determine the underlying causes of any symptoms.
- The first session is followed with a detailed assessment and plan including recommendations, a tailored meal plan if desired, with recipes, and any recommended supplementation. You will be walked through this during the second session.
- A review is scheduled approximately six weeks after your initial consultation. This allows time for changes to become embedded and the initial effects of any dietary changes seen. During this session your progress will be assessed and any necessary changes made to your programme.
