Goals To teach the knowledge and principles of healthy nutrition and the nutritional properties of athletes for maximum performance, to gain the skills to make a healthy and appropriate diet plan.
Course Content It is essential to understand the fundamental principles of healthy eating and the strong link between natural and healthy dietary approaches and exercise. Furthermore, the role of nutrition in combating obesity and in the growth and development processes of the human body is of great importance. It is essential to maintain energy balance, which directly affects athletes’ training and competition performance. In this context, consumption strategies for carbohydrates, proteins and fats—the body’s fundamental building blocks—must be determined. The aim of this course is to enable coaches and sports specialists to adapt the theoretical knowledge they have acquired to the varying needs of individuals, their training levels and environmental conditions, and to apply it in a targeted manner when planning effective sports nutrition.
