PERS30010

Academic Year 2024/2025
After natural talent and appropriate training, nutrition is the next most important factor influencing sports performance. On the other hand, health risks linked to body composition, nutrient deficiencies and dietary habits are readily altered by manipulation of nutrient intake in the short- and long-term. This module builds upon existing modules in the sports and exercise sciences, and in particular the theoretical framework given in PERS20020, by exploring practical nutrition strategies in health and sporting contexts. Greater focus will be given to practical applications of current nutrition guidelines including meal planning and provision, food choices, and both broad and goal-orientated dietary strategies.
