Rīga Stradiņš University seminar for coaches

On 18 June, the Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) seminar for coaches will take place in Valmiera as part of the Latvian Youth Olympiad. The seminar will provide an opportunity to gain practical knowledge on how to better understand a young athlete’s health signals, tolerance of physical load, recovery, and test results that can help in planning the training process.

RSU lecturer, expert at the Sports and Nutrition Research Laboratory, and nutritionist Ilze Justamente will speak about young athletes’ health indicators, blood biomarkers, and the justification for using dietary supplements.

Sports physician Toms Jānis Eglītis will provide a practical perspective on how a sports physician assesses a young athlete’s health, when a coach should involve a specialist in a timely manner, and what can be concluded from Eurofit and cardiorespiratory tests.

Participants will have the opportunity to receive a certificate valid for recertification by the Latvian Sports Federations Council.
