Professional Organisations and Associations

Apart from PINES, which is a global association for individuals working in sports nutrition and dietetics, most associations are organised on a national basis. Membership of some of these organisations is open only to registered dietitians, while others are open to both nutritionists and dietitians. Some of the organisations listed below are oriented towards sports medicine and/or sports science, but have some sports nutrition elements. Not all of these websites are not friendly towards non-members, but some include substantial amounts of freely-available information, in some cases, this includes job postings.

Jobs

Many sites provide resources for those looking for a new job. These include some that just list jobs available, and others that provide guidance on issues like writing a letter of application, preparing an effective cv, etc. Some sites are specific to one country, but others are international. The following is not a complete listing, but may be helpful.

  • TV/Newspapers

    There are some excellent news websites covering sport, including most of the major television channels and newspapers. While some of these focus primarily on local (ie national) events, others take an international perspective: both may be useful, depending on what you are looking for. Useful news sites include:

  • Governing Bodies

    The national and international governing bodies of sport also provide a comprehensive news coverage, and often also have an archive of past news items that can be very useful when tracing the development of a story. You can access the International Federations of most of the major sports here. A large amount of current news and history as well as video, images, etc can be found on the following sites:

Travelling

International travel for training and competition is part of the normal life of many athletes. Travel is rewarding, but brings some challenges. Managing these challenges is essential to maximise the rewards and minimise the risks.

Diet/Recipe Analysis

There are many different options for the analysis of food intake records. These were traditionally paper-based, but are now very largely computer-based, allowing greater flexibility and ease of use. Some of the available programs are complex and expensive, while others offer convenience and simplicity of use.

Some programs allow calculation by weights or standard portion sizes, while others offer only the option of using either food weights or portions. Some include recipes, while others do not, but allow you to analyse ingredients separately. Some will automatically add results to a spreadsheet, greatly simplifying the process of analysing diets.

The following are some of the programs that you might choose to use, but you may well have others that you are currently using. Some of the free sites are good, but there may be problems, like frequent and annoying pop-ups or a limited range of foods in the database. Some are blatantly selling something, but still may have some good ideas along the way.

You might like to try some of those listed below and compare them with your current favourite. If so, it would be good to share your views with others. If you know of other diet analysis software that should be added to this list and would like to share this with colleagues, please let us know./p>
