What is NOT a component of a Sports Nutrition Coach's scope of practice?

In the context of a Sports Nutrition Coach's scope of practice, making clinical assessments of biochemical data is not included. This activity typically falls under the responsibilities of licensed healthcare professionals, such as registered dietitians or physicians, who have the training to interpret medical data and make clinical recommendations based on those assessments.

A Sports Nutrition Coach focuses on practical applications related to nutrition and athletic performance, which includes providing education on balanced diets, coaching clients on behavior change, and educating on nutrient properties of foods. These tasks align with their training and expertise, enabling them to support clients in making informed dietary choices to enhance performance and health. In contrast, clinical assessments involve complex diagnoses and medical interpretations that require a specialized medical background.
