Bringing international sports nutrition standards to Vietnamese athletes

Entering 2025, Vietnamese sports continue to aim to improve competition performance, in which scientific nutrition is considered a core factor to maintain peak performance.

Nutrition - the foundation of success

In recent times, Vietnamese sports have achieved many outstanding achievements, for example, the men's football team affirmed its leading position in the region for the third time by winning the AFF Cup 2024 championship, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team won a historic ticket to the 2025 World Championship, marking a long step forward for Vietnamese volleyball on the international map, winning 19 medals at the Asian Games (Youth ASIAD 2025)...

The Vietnamese team closed 2024 with many brilliant achievements in regional and international arenas.

To maintain the above achievements, in addition to tactical factors, the foundation of sports nutrition is an important piece of the puzzle. Understanding sports nutrition correctly and knowing how to apply science in training will contribute to reducing injuries, prolonging the career and improving the quality of competition of the players. This is an inevitable step when Vietnamese sports hope to reach the regional level and integrate with the world.

International experts accompany Vietnamese sports

Within the framework of strategic cooperation with the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) and the Vietnam Olympic Committee (VOC), Herbalife cooperated to organize a specialized training session with the special participation of Dr. Julián Álvarez, an international sports nutrition expert and member of the group's Nutrition Advisory Board.

He will directly conduct intensive training on November 15 and 17 at VFF and VOC for Vietnamese coaches, sports doctors and technical staff, who play a key role in spreading nutritional knowledge to athletes.

Dr. Julián Álvarez, expert from Herbalife, shares international experience in sports nutrition training

With over 20 years of experience in Sports Medicine and Nutrition, Dr. Álvarez has served as a medical advisor to numerous national and Olympic teams and has led professional athlete performance improvement projects in Europe and South America.

He is one of the pioneers in applying nutritional science to training practice, helping to balance physical fitness, psychology and recovery ability. “Each athlete has a different body type, gender and energy needs, so the nutrition regimen needs to be personalized. At the same time, it is necessary to build a strategy of 'correct supplementation - quick recovery' before, during and after competition to achieve maximum efficiency”, shared Dr. Julián Álvarez.

According to him, combining scientific nutrition with personal biological data not only helps athletes optimize their physical strength, but also improves endurance and the ability to maintain stable performance throughout the season - something that many of the world's leading sports are applying.

The participation of Dr. Julián Álvarez is part of the sustainable cooperation strategy between Herbalife and Vietnamese sports. Currently, Herbalife is the official nutrition partner of VFF and VOC, with the goal of accompanying teams and athletes on the journey to improve physical fitness and professionalize training.

On a global scale, Herbalife is the world's leading health and fitness company, sponsoring many sports teams, athletes and events, including Cristiano Ronaldo, the LA Galaxy Club, and many other big names in international sports.

Continuing the journey of spreading sports nutrition standards

In Vietnam, Herbalife has long sponsored not only specialized nutritional products for top professional athletes but also regularly transferred scientific knowledge and practical experience through training programs, seminars and in-depth consulting.

These activities not only help coaches and sports doctors access international nutrition standards, but also contribute to building a comprehensive physical foundation for Vietnamese athletes in the period of deep integration with world sports.

With a long history of cooperation with VFF and VOC, Herbalife will continue to closely accompany Vietnamese sports.

The appearance of Dr. Julián Álvarez this year is not only a professional sharing session, but also a milestone continuing the relentless journey to spread Herbalife's nutritional value in Vietnam, where science, nutrition and sports aspirations come together.

“From scientific knowledge to sports practice, Herbalife always believes that every athlete deserves access to the best nutritional foundation to achieve peak performance,” shared a representative of Herbalife Vietnam.

With long-term commitment, in-depth knowledge and belief in the strength of Vietnamese sports, Herbalife is contributing to creating a new generation of athletes who are stronger, more professional and ready to conquer new heights on the world sports map.
