Food Insecurity in Collegiate Athletes
Q&A for Session #8
Sports Nutrition Symposium 3.0
Thursday June 24th, 2021 @ 12 pm CST
Food insecurity and its associated effect on eating behaviors and health implications have become an emerging area of interest in both practice and research; even more so since the advent of the COVID pandemic. This presentation will discuss the limited research that has been done on this topic, how this largely ignored problem demands unique solutions and how we can use this information to leverage for more resources to help these student-athletes.
All live sessions are free to attend. If you want lifetime access to the sessions from Sports Nutrition Symposium 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 then check out the VIP Pass!
