Emphasis is directed toward the scientific underpinnings and evidence- based applied nutrition strategies for human performance. General focus areas will be categorized as nutrition needs for chronic training or acute phases (i.e. before, during and post acute training sessions and competition) in competition and sport. Targeted focus areas are: macronutrient metabolism, energy availability and expenditure, body composition, the metabolic basis of weight management in sport, micro- nutrient needs, ergogenic aids, disordered eating and eating disorders, and water and electrolyte balance.
