Topics for each sport will include - nutrients to support competition performance and training adaptations, supplements and ergogenic aids to enhance performance and nutrition for optimal recovery. In addition, students will have an opportunity to work through a series of case studies in which their knowledge of nutrition, exercise and the specific characteristics of sport will be used to develop individually tailored nutrition recommendations for athletes.
