🛒 Buy

The course offers a comprehensive overview of sports nutrition, integrating exercise physiology, analysis of energy requirements and macronutrients, and practical principles of meal timing and recovery. It reviews current scientific evidence and translates findings into actionable guidance for athletes across disciplines, varied performance levels, and individualized training objectives.

The syllabus addresses nutritional assessment, estimation of energy expenditure, macronutrient periodization, hydration planning and safe supplementation practices. It emphasizes personalized diet planning with phase specific adjustments, weight management strategies and approaches for intolerances or medical conditions, supported by evidence based protocols, templates, sample menus and real case examples.

The methodology blends theoretical lectures, case studies, practical exercises and downloadable resources. It presents monitoring protocols and the use of monitoring tools such as intake logs, macronutrient calculators, training and recovery trackers, and body composition assessment methods, together with interpretation criteria and clear guidance to adapt strategies based on individual response.

Upon completion, participants will be able to design coherent nutrition plans aligned with sporting objectives, interpret physiological and performance metrics, and modify nutritional strategies for competition, tapering or training cycles. This course suits coaches, sports nutritionists, strength and conditioning professionals and committed athletes seeking to apply scientific evidence to day to day high performance practice, supported by applied materials specifically.

👨🏻‍🏫 19 Topics

▽ TOPIC 1: FUNDAMENTALS OF SPORT AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

4 Lessons00:16:59

You will classify physical activity, exercise and sport, distinguish athlete profiles and individual, team and extreme modalities, and design training for aerobic capacity, power and intermittent efforts.

▶ 1.1 Fundamental differences between physical activity, exercise and sport.

You will distinguish everyday physical activity, planned exercise, and competitive sport: definitions, requirements, and examples to differentiate wellbeing, training, and institutional discipline.

04:24

▶ 1.2 Typology and classification of the athlete

Differentiate the characteristics, motivations and demands of recreational, amateur and professional athletes to tailor goals and training

04:15

▶ 1.3 Classification of sports according to their nature

You will distinguish technical and tactical requirements of individual, team and extreme sports, and how to adapt discipline, communication and nutrition based on the sport modality.

04:11

▶ 1.4 Endurance, strength and intermittent sports

You will identify differences between aerobic, anaerobic, and mixed sports and learn how to design training to improve aerobic capacity, muscular power, and metabolic transition in intermittent efforts.

04:09

▽ TOPIC 2: INTRODUCTION TO NUTRITION AND FEEDING

4 Lessons00:17:51

Distinguishes voluntary and involuntary eating, identifies biopsychosocial factors that guide choices, classifies foods, macronutrients and micronutrients, and explains digestion from chewing to absorption.
