Module 1: Introduction to Sports Nutrition
This module begins by defining sports nutrition and its objectives. We’ll classify athletes into recreational, amateur, and professional, with a primary focus on the first two. You’ll learn how different sports have unique nutritional needs—for instance, a marathon runner’s diet differs greatly from that of a football player.
Module 2: Energy Requirements for Athletes
Dive into the science of energy systems, including the phosphocreatine, lactic acid, and aerobic systems. You’ll explore how different energy systems affect athletes’ performance and recovery. We’ll also cover the five cardio training zones, helping you understand intensity levels across various sports. Additionally, the concept of Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) will be explained, taking into account variables such as age, gender, and weight to determine personalized energy needs.
Module 3: Macronutrient Requirements for Athletes
In this module, you’ll learn how to calculate the ideal macronutrient ratios (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) for athletes based on their sport and individual needs. Through case studies and research-backed guidelines, you’ll gain confidence in developing tailored macro plans for any athlete like a pro.
Module 4: Fluid Requirements for Athletes
Proper hydration is essential for optimizing athletic performance. This module will teach you the formula to calculate optimal water intake, alongside when and how to incorporate sports drinks, especially for endurance athletes. We’ll break down different types of sports drinks, their ideal consumption timing, and recommend the best brands.
