Paper Description
This paper aims to provide students with an understanding of the key concepts of human nutrition, specifically related to health and exercise/sport. The ability to apply evidence-based strategies practically will be developed. This paper will also advance skills related to finding evidence-based literature and report writing (for both clients and professionals).
Paper Structure
The content of this course will be delivered through both the lectures and the tutorials. Lectures will take the form of short video clips posted to Moodle. The tutorials/labs are COMPULSORY and will provide an opportunity for students to discuss the lecture/theoretical components, as well as develop practical skills for nutrition practice. The objective is to make the tutorial learning as interactive, engaging and practical as possible to allow the development of knowledge and applied practice.Tutorials will not only be summaries of the lecture. Reading lists will be available through TALIS and each module/week will have a reading to be completed.
