Our Mission
The NASN. was established in 1996 as an independent association in order to
prepare health professionals for successful sports nutrition counseling.
This includes:
1. Establishing proficiency in current biochemical and physiological
scientific knowledge.
2. Satisfactory application of these principles for the promotion of optimal
health, human performance and body composition.
3. Developing community awareness of this profession.
The NASN Board of Trustees is an administrative independent body
established in order to examine and license in human sports nutrition. The NASN
is an outgrowth of six years work to provide standards for and implement a
three-fold program of licensing:
- First, quality examinations were created and validated to appropriately
represent the field of sports nutrition.
- Second, national licenses are provided for sports nutritionists by
successful completion of the Board Sports Nutrition Examinations. These Licenses
enable licensed Sports Nutritionists to access the entire scope of sports
nutrition practice.
- Third, a mechanism for license renewal annually, thus providing assurance
of continued competency in the field.
