The American College of Sports Medicine formed corporate partnerships with DuPont Nutrition & Health and Polar.
Jim Whitehead, executive vice president/CEO of ACSM, said aligning with these partners is "extremely important" to ACSM's progress, and feels that the sponsors will bring forth credible science and research.
The two sponsors are slated to contribute educational content to ACSM''s website, webinars and journals.
"We are excited to partner with ACSM to share current research on protein blends, probiotics and betaine for muscle health," said Ratna Mukherjea, PhD associate director of global nutrition at DuPont Nutrition & Health. "This information provides ACSM scientists with proven advantages of protein blends in increasing lean muscle mass, improving immune health through probiotics and betaine driven hydration benefits of athletes."
