Preamble
This assignment will entail an analysis of a particular individual or team sport. You will
identify key exercise and sports nutrition principles,
interpret identified biochemical(e.g. blood glucose during the training/competition),
physiological and nutritional parameters, and
identify key recommendations for the management and practical food advice to improve performance. You will also be required to
identify key supplements and myths that may be used and counter these with appropriate evidence. The case will be completed as a written assignment. Some of the information you need to include in your assignment will not have been covered in the unit by the due date. Theoretical information about these topics will be provided in advance for all students. Please continue to check the Course Materials Database (CMD) for this material.
