Code: SPS220
Course: Nutrition for Exercise & Health
Level : Diploma

Course Outcomes
At the end of the course, students should be able to:

•  define the role of nutritional sciences in human
•  describe the basic chemical and physiological aspects of macronutrients and micronutrients in human
•  demonstrate basic nutritional assessment.
•  discuss the relation of sport and exercise on nutrition-related disease

Course Description

This course introduces students to the fundamentals of nutritional aspects of sport, which includes the food function, metabolism, requirement, and its relation to health and diseases. Theory in basic nutritional assessment such as anthropometry, body composition and energy balance will be covered. Students will also learn about the nutritional guideline that includes food pyramid, dietary guidelines and physical activity pyramid. The course will provide the students to explain the contribution of food and understand the important role of nutrition in sports performance.
