Handbook

In this course, you will develop a basic understanding of how nutrition affects sporting performance. You will learn to assess nutritional requirements for particular sports and athletes of different ages and levels of performance, and develop an understanding of when referral to a nutrition professional is required. You will examine current topics in performance nutrition and use evidence-based approaches to determine their suitability and application. Importantly, you will learn to recognise eating and drinking practices that would be detrimental to performance and the longer-term health of athletes.
