Abstract

The professional training of the physical education specialist involves the development of complex competencies adapted to the current demands of modern sport. Among these, sports nutrition knowledge plays a crucial role, having a significant impact on performance, recovery, and athletes’ health status. The present study aims to analyse the importance of integrating nutrition knowledge into the professional training of physical education specialists, with specific applicability to swimming training. The research is based on methods such as document analysis, questionnaires, and pedagogical observation, highlighting the level of nutritional preparation of specialists and the manner in which dietary principles are applied in the training of swimmers. The obtained results emphasize the need to strengthen the nutritional component within both initial and continuous professional training, contributing to the efficiency of the instructional-educational process and the optimization of sports performance.
