This module will explore the foundations of general and sport nutrition, providing you with the knowledge and skills to analyse and review a diet diary and provide appropriate dietary advice to a self-selected case study.
Your learning will involve lectures, workshops examining dietary assessment methods, computer-based sessions using dietary analysis software and testing in the Human Performance Laboratory. You will learn how to calculate energy requirements for different activities and populations in both a sport and health context.
The assessment for this module includes the production of a dietary analysis report from a client diet diary. You will work with the client to capture the data and will analyse and interpret the data. You will draw on your knowledge to form recommendations and client goals.
You will complete a weekly online test ahead of an end of year exam.
