Introduction
 When we consider a healthy diet, we think of eating the
right amounts of fruit and veg, not having too many carbs,
having enough protein for our muscles to recover and not
eating too much bad fat. But lets think about these
principles in a sporting context. Whether you are a
professional athlete, or a weekend warrior, modifying your
diet to suit training, competition and recovery can have vast
benefits. Progress through the PowerPoint, completing the
activities as you go to find out more about the importance of
nutrition in sports.
Reading FC  Science in Sport - Nutrition
 Watch the video and discuss. After watching, what do you now know
about nutrition in sport. Did it leave you with more questions? Briefly
complete a table similar to the one shown below. The last column can
be completed at the end of the topic!

 Read and summarise the information.
 Complete the Hydration worksheet (appendix 1).

Sports Drinks
 How many different types of sports drinks can you think of? Research and compare three (3)
different sports drinks. Choose which one of the three would be most suitable for an Olympic
track athlete. Justify your response.
 Consider the following questions as starters for your task;
i. Do they provide effective hydration?
ii. Are they considered healthy? Why/Why not?
iii. Do the marketing campaigns for each drink have a specific target audience?
iv. Is the target audience appropriate?
Macro & Micro Nutrients
Become an expert!
 Form a group of four people and allocate each
member a different topic (protein, carbohydrates,
fats and vitamins & minerals)
 You have 10-15 minutes to find out as much as you
can about your topic. Use the provided worksheets to
start.
 You may research your topic in more depth if you
wish! (remember to use reliable sources of
information)
 Now, you have 5 minutes each to teach the rest of
your group everything they need to know about your
topic.
 Extension: Now choose a topic you just learned
about (not your expert topic) and compare your
understanding with a member of a different group!

Timing of Nutrition
 Nutrients will have a different effect on the body depending
on when they are consumed in relation to performance. An
athlete needs to design their diet based on their training,
performance and recovery needs. A professional athletes
body undergoes vast stresses during training and
performance, which can be dangerous without proper
nutritional planning. When designing a nutritional plan, it
is important to consider an individuals needs pre, during
and post performance while ensuring the body is adequately
fueled for training and recovery.
Role Play
Person 1
 Qualified Nutritionist
Person 2
 Professional Rugby League player
 Professional golfer
 Middle aged man who enjoys walking
30 minutes daily
 Elderly lady (healthy)
 Child (active 12 year old boy)
**
*You MUST cover the following points;
pre performance, during performance,
post performance, training days and
recovery days.
Choose a partner. One of you is a nutrition
professional, the other chooses a role from the
list. When you are done, write down a transcript
for your conversation. Each person gets a turn
being the nutritionist.
Dont like acting? No worries. Design a diet for
one of the people listed. Give reasons for your
choices.
Supplementation
Option 1
Conduct an Interview
 Do you know someone who goes to the
gym regularly? Or do you perhaps know a
professional/semi professional athlete.
These people will often use supplements.
 Find out what supplements they use and
why they use them. Create a list of the
supplements and research them online.
 Analyse their supplement plan and assess
whether or not it meets their sport
specific needs.
Option 2
Bulking, Shredding or Maintaining?
 These are common terms in the sports
world. They refer to the process of
working towards different body shape
goals. Define each term.
 Choose one of the above terms and
design a supplement program to help
achieve the goals associated with your
chosen term. Explain your responses.
Case Study Activity
 For this activity you will be conducting a case study on a well known athlete. Each person in
the class must choose a different athlete. Research the specific nutritional requirements for
their sport and design a nutritional plan for your chosen athlete. Nutritional plan must
include the following, but can be presented any way you choose.
- What you want them to eat
- When you want them to eat it (including meals and snacks)
- Training schedule
- Performance schedule If you cant find your athletes specific schedule, make one up.
- Recovery schedule
- Supplement program
- Brief justification for each meal/snack/supplement
- What your athletes body specific goals are (a sprinter will be more muscular than a marathon
runner)
Assessment Task
 Your assessment task is explained in depth in appendix 6.
You will be required to keep a food diary. After one week you
will assess your diet and its appropriateness for your sport
specific goals. You will then create a nutritional plan for
yourself (including 3 recipes!). You will then create a
brochure (or similar) for your diet, aimed at athletes in your
chosen sport.
