Conference on Athlete Nutrition and Supplementation – Szczecin

The Polish Pharmaceutical Students' Society, Szczecin Branch, is organizing an interdisciplinary Conference on Nutrition and Supplementation on April 24-25. This is the first such unique initiative at the Branch, organized entirely by student members of the PTSF.

The leading topic of the event, both in the workshop and lecture sections, is sports supplementation – a field that is developing extremely dynamically and at the same time raises many questions and doubts.

Our goal is to provide reliable information based on current scientific knowledge regarding rational and safe supplementation, as well as to emphasize the importance of proper nutrition in the context of health and body performance.

These days, more and more people are engaging in physical activity, and the supplement market is widely available and not always fully regulated. That's why education in this area is so important – we believe that the knowledge shared by our speakers will help participants make informed decisions and reduce the overuse of supplements.

During these two days, participants will have the opportunity to attend lectures and workshops on topics such as nutrition and supplementation for physically active individuals, the impact of diet on the functioning of an athlete's body, the importance of gut microbiota, and proper nutritional strategies in preventive health care. The program also includes topics related to body regeneration, modern methods of supporting injury treatment, and selected aspects of metabolic diseases in the context of physical activity.

The conference is aimed at students of the Pomeranian Medical University and third- and fourth-year secondary school students. We place particular emphasis on education, promoting a conscious lifestyle, and popularizing the pharmacy profession.
