WT business overview
First, a certified sports nutritionist registered with the association undergoes preceptor training and masters the “WT Education Program.” The preceptor holds a “WT Instructor Training Seminar” for in-house and local registered dietitians, and those who pass the completion test are designated as “WT Instructors” and provide health promotion support using Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s network. You will be active in activities etc.
The WT Education Program is highly specialized and practical, incorporating the latest nutritional science and knowledge of sports nutrition. The knowledge and experience of sports nutrition cultivated by certified sports dietitians who hold the national qualification of registered dietitian and are responsible for nutritional support for athletes and professional athletes in international competitions can help people manage their daily physical condition regardless of age or gender. It covers a variety of topics such as hydration, heatstroke prevention, immunity, diet, sleep, nutrition for the elderly, and women’s health.
As the first step in starting this project, we have started a “WT Instructor Training Seminar” for in-house registered dietitians, with certified sports dietitians from four contract catering companies that have agreed to this activity as preceptors. We will increase the number of “WT instructors” and proceed with on-site operation in test areas.
■Sports nutrition is the science of nutrition that keeps you healthy! Generally speaking, when many people hear the word nutrition, they think of it being used to prevent or improve disease, but there are also fields such as sports nutrition where nutrition can be used to demonstrate good performance in critical situations. The role of this association is to spread awareness and educate people about the existence of specialized fields that can be used every day by motivated and energetic people.
People eat three meals a day, which is a simple calculation of 1,095 meals a year.If you live to be 85 years old, you will have to think about “what to eat” for 93,075 meals. It is no exaggeration to say that the choices you make about what you eat will change your body, your physical condition, and your life.
Through this project, we will spread the knowledge of
“Well-trition,” which aims for “Well-being” through nutrition, to local communities and workplaces, and build this human resources infrastructure in order to contribute to increasing the vitality of people and society.
We would like to ask for the continued support and cooperation of all those involved.
Auspicious day in December 2023

■What is sports nutrition?
Sports nutrition is a systematization of nutritional theory, knowledge, and skills necessary for people who are physically active through exercise and sports. In order to improve or improve
performance, we arrange theories (evidence) that make full use of sports nutrition and sports medicine science to suit individual goals and bodies, and provide nutritional management centered on the intake of food, drinks, and supplements. This practice is called “sports nutrition management.” This knowledge and know-how has been cultivated by our certified sports nutritionist, a profession that goes beyond obtaining the national qualification of registered dietitian. With the 2021 international competition, the needs for sports nutrition will further expand to include not only athletes and sports enthusiasts, but also those who use their bodies for work, office workers in their prime, elderly people aiming to live a long and healthy life, pregnant women, children, etc. It is increasingly being used as a “nutritional science for energizing” that can be applied to all people. You want to build muscle, get through a work
presentation, improve your concentration for an exam, run faster, increase your stamina, stay in good physical condition, avoid injuries or breakdowns…etc. Sports nutrition know-how will help you get closer to who you need to be and who you want to be.
