Aims

This module aims to increase your understanding of the regulation of the metabolic processes by which muscles are provided with energy during exercise as well as examining the molecular mechanisms underpinning muscle adaptation to exercise training. Having drawn upon this theoretical knowledge, the module also aims to develop your ability to translate this information to the applied context of sports nutrition with the goal of improving sports performance, training adaptations and recovery.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Critically evaluate the hormonal and cellular processes involved in the metabolic regulation of energy provision during exercise and the influence of pre- and during- exercise feeding on related metabolic pathways.
2.
Critically evaluate the macronutrient and hydration requirements to support optimal sports performance.
3.
Critically evaluate the metabolic responses to acute and chronic endurance, high intensity and resistance-type exercise, and the influence of inactivity and poor diet on related metabolic pathways leading to disease.
