A TALK on SPORT and Exercise Nutrition by Dr Catherine Norton
Dooneen Presents A TALK ON SPORT AND EXERCISE NUTRITION
by Dr Catherine Norton, PhD, RD, RSEN, for members.
Date: Wednesday 16th October 2019 at 7pm
Venue: St Pauls National School, Dooradoyle.
Eircode: V94 Y62V
The talk would be suited to all athletes from U12 upwards, junior, senior and masters, plus parents of athletes of any age.
All are invited to attend next Wednesday at St Paul’s. This is a very
important topic as we have seen improper nutrition and hydration affect
athletes in recent years, especially in early morning sessions and
competitions.
