The fitness opportunity for dietetic educators and practitioners
Abstract:
This article describes an academic experience in developing the nutrition component of a community fitness program. It illustrates how the role modeling of faculty and students can lead to the creation of new positions in nontraditional settings. Information is based on the involvement of the Coordinated Undergraduate Program (CUP) at Viterbo College, LaCrosse, WI, in the LaCrosse Exercise Program at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse. Included are (a) a rationale for involvement in exercise programs; (b) a perspective on attitudes, knowledge, and skills required for practice in a fitness environment; and (c) suggestions on possible curriculum components applicable to a fitness program that incorporates a nutrition emphasis.
