This course will investigate the critical role that nutrition plays in optimizing human athletic performance. The focus will be on high performance athletes, although consideration may be given to recreationally active individuals. The course will cover adaptations at the cellular, tissue and whole body level and use this information to develop practical recommendations for athletes before, during, and after competition. Students will have the opportunity to critically analyze current dietary practices and gain a better understanding for the complex interplay between nutrition and exercise.
