FIT2225 Case Study: Designing Exercise and Nutrition Programs

This assignment presents exercise and nutrition programs for two individuals, Sarah and Margaret, based on their specific needs and health profiles. Sarah, a 32-year-old former athlete with a knee injury, requires a program focusing on cardiovascular endurance, muscle endurance, and flexibility, incorporating prenatal yoga. The program includes a detailed FITT principle breakdown and a weekly nutrition plan with specific food recommendations. Margaret's program, tailored for an older adult, emphasizes cardiovascular and muscle training and flexibility, with varying frequency and intensity levels. The assignment also details a weekly nutrition plan for Margaret. Both programs are supported by references to relevant research. The FITT principle is applied to both programs. This assignment aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of creating personalized fitness and nutrition plans, considering individual needs and health conditions.
