The training was conducted on November 17 by Julián Álvarez García, a member of the Herbalife Nutrition Advisory Board and a renowned sports science specialist and nutrition expert from Spain.

This workshop is part of Herbalife's long-term commitment to supporting Vietnam sports through nutrition product sponsorship, athlete training, awards, and incentives.

The training focused on integrating nutrition science into athlete preparation, competition, and recovery cycles. Drawing on global best practices, Álvarez shared personalised approaches to nutrition that address differences in sport type, gender, and age, while ensuring safe supplement use and long-term athlete health.

Key topics included individualised nutrition strategies for multi-sport athletes; nutritional recovery and injury prevention techniques; safe and certified supplement use following international anti-doping standards; and hydration and energy balance management for elite-level performance.

With experiences in supporting elite athletes and top football teams for decades, Álvarez shared practical and evidence-based insights on sports nutrition for Vietnamese athletes.

Tran Van Manh, VOC's general secretary, shared “Science-based nutrition is essential for all athletes, especially those who are preparing for major international competitions. Training conducted by global experts like Julián Álvarez, along with practical nutrition support from Herbalife, helps our teams unleash their full potential to compete at international tournaments. On behalf of the VOC, I would like to express our gratitude to Herbalife Vietnam for its consistent and meaningful support to our athletes.”

These initiatives align with Herbalife's commitment to helping local athletes enhance their strength and stamina to achieve optimal performance at major regional and global tournaments, and supporting Vietnam sports to achieve long-term goals."
