Description:

The central theme in this course is the translation from sport & nutrition research into practical guidelines for athletes. The purpose of this topic is to translate the knowledge gained in the other courses into practical guidelines tailored for the athlete. The course contains three cases in which a nutritional plan will be designed for athletes from different sports, taking into account their training practices. But the course also evolves around individualization or personalized nutrition depending on factors that go beyond the specific sport discipline, i.e., gender, ethnic background, culture, etc. Topics that will be addressed are popular diets, how dietary needs differ between persons, sports, and training phases, dietary assessment and how to communicate with athletes and be part of a larger coaching team.
