An introduction to the basic principles of nutrition with an emphasis on the role that nutrition plays in the physiological response to exercise in sport. This includes the composition of pre, during and post physical activity meals, the role that nutrients play in performance, disordered eating, and food as an ergogenic aid. The students will engage in group activities designed to enhance trainer/client to clinician/patient verbal and written communication, construct nutrition plans based on individual needs and be able to explain the relevance of their choices based in evidence found in research.
