At UPANDRUNNING we have a multi-disciplinary approach to sports nutrition, combining our knowledge from Biochemistry, Medicine, Exercise Physiology and Psychology. Nutritional advice for a highly competitive athlete requires a truly individualized program, determined by the chosen sport, age, gender, physiology, and environmental conditions.
We see sports persons that are returning to fitness post injury, recreational athletes, and the elite professionals. Nutritional advice from our sports dietician and or exercise physiologist, aims to maximize potential, achieve higher goals and get you to reach your peak performance. Core to our program is personalized fitness and diet plans using our Quark COSMED metabolic cart for VO2 max, VO2/VCO2 testing and Biacorpus body composition measures to map your progress.
Metabolic Testing: gain a deeper insight into how your body functions and the daily calorie intake that it requires. The foundation of your daily nutrition to achieve your wellness goals is more effective when you balance energy macros across the timing of your meals, type of activities and calorie intake over the day and week. At UPANDRUNNING, measuring your metabolism is our preferred test and guide to creating a bespoke dietary plan.
Biacorpus Testing: a method used to analyze your body composition, understanding your body and its core components: fat, protein, minerals, and body water. The test is a non-evasive procedure that measures body water, fat-free mass, fat mass and percentage and extracellular water. Biacorpus testing provides an accurate insight into your overall health and in turns allows for the creation of a more detailed nutrition and fitness program that builds muscle and reduces fat.
