This module provides learners with a strong scientific and practical foundation in sports nutrition. It examines how nutrition interacts with metabolism and energy systems to influence physical performance, adaptation to training, and recovery. Learners explore the roles of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, fluids, and electrolytes, together with the principles of energy balance, across the full cycle of athlete preparation, training, competition, and post-exercise recovery.
The module combines theory with applied practice. Learners develop skills in estimating energy and macronutrient requirements, interpreting dietary information, assessing hydration needs, and translating nutrition science into clear, practical advice for athletes, coaches, and support teams.
