About this course
This course introduces the fundamentals of sports nutrition. You will learn to describe macronutrients—proteins, carbohydrates, and fats—and their specific functions and recommendations for active bodies. The syllabus also covers the identification of micronutrients, including vitamins and minerals, and their role in performance. You will explore basic supplements and evidence-informed recommendations for their use. Finally, the course outlines nutritional strategies for optimizing health and recovery. By the end, you can identify key nutrient classes and apply basic recommendations to support training goals. This course is best suited for beginners seeking a foundational understanding; those looking for advanced clinical nutrition or personalized diet plans may benefit more from the Diet And Nutrition Coach Certification: Beginner To Advanced course, also available on Udemy and free to audit.
