AS the Filipino nation continues to rally behind its athletes who give pride and glory in and out of the country, the quest to support the next generation of sports practitioners through innovation and research remains a constant goal.
For this reason, the Sports Nutrition Association of the Philippines, Inc. (SNAP) held its first-ever Philippine Sports Nutrition Summit, carrying the theme Elevating Performance: Integrating Science and Nutrition held last August 15 at SMX Convention Place, Pasay in its goal to pursue excellence in sports nutrition and athlete performance.
MILO®, standing firm in its commitment to support athletes in their active journey, also served as an official partner to the event as part of its advocacy to rally behind the country’s biggest innovations and learnings in sport.
Overall, the event served as an educational and interactive avenue for participants, consisting of young athletes and coaches, to learn more about the crucial role sports nutrition ultimately plays in athlete performance.
In introducing innovative breakthroughs in the field of sport, attendees were greeted by a keynote speech by SNAP President, Fia Batua-Mambuay, highlighting how peak performance can be achieved through integrating sports science and nutrition together.
Just as well, Q&A sessions provided by Jason Labrador from Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI); nutritionist-dietitian and teacher Mabel Aban; John Joshua C. Timpog, RND from the PSC’s Sports Nutrition Unit; Dr. Raul Alcantara, MD from the PSC’s Sports Medicine Unit; Commissioner Fritz Gaston from the PSC’s Sports Psychology Unit; and Mark Arlante of Nutri-Fit all unveiled the latest recommended sports nutrition practices that can supplement their performance.
MILO® cemented its support throughout the summit through its sampling products, serving as a means to advance their commitment to nourishing champions and rallying behind the up-and-coming generation of athletes.
Together with SNAP and other like-minded partners in sports and sports nutrition, MILO® remains committed to empowering athletes and sports on the grassroots level, ensuring that they have a partner in every win – but that they are accompanied in every aspect of their journey, down to their fitness and nutrition as they mold themselves to become Champions.
