Sport & Exercise Nutrition Course

Sports Nutrition is the study and practice of nutrition and diet in relation to sports performance. It is concerned with the type and quantity of fluid and food taken by a sports person, and deals with nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, supplements and organic substances such as carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Nutrition is a crucial component in many sports training regimens, including strength sports (such as weight lifting and bodybuilding), and endurance sports (including cycling, running, gym sessions and swimming etc).

Designed to give positive ‘Nutritional Advice’ for everyone involved in any type of regular exercise. Students will learn which types of foods to consume prior to, and after exercise to avoid unnecessary stress to the body, and gain maximum performance during exercise periods.

Our course provides a very comprehensive overview of nutrition and its relationship to health and exercise, discussing the ‘five food groups’ and the importance of following a balanced diet irrespective of dietary goals (e.g. weight loss, muscle strengthening, performance enhancing).
