Athlete and the Arts Nutrition

SHPN has developed a series of fact sheets tailored to performing artists because the physical demands and mental and psychological pressures of performing artist-athletes are similar to those of sports athletes. These resources have been developed with Athletes and the Arts (AATA), a young and emerging organization formed to address the health, wellness, and performance needs of performing artist-athletes. The fact sheets are created by SHPN Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) and provide timely, accurate, applied information and guidance.

Through a collaborative effort, SHPN and AATA strive to ensure that performance athletes are provided with accurate guidance and resources to support the high demands of their training and overall health. For more information about AATA, click here.
