Workbook: Applying Nutrition Principles to Physical Activity Programme

This workbook, designed for the L/600/9054 unit on applying nutrition principles to a physical activity program, covers a wide range of topics essential for understanding the relationship between nutrition and exercise. It begins with an exploration of the digestive system's structure and function, followed by definitions of key nutritional terms like 'diet,' 'healthy eating,' and 'balanced diet.' The workbook delves into the roles and metabolism of macronutrients (proteins, fats, and carbohydrates) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), alongside the calorific values of various nutrients. It also covers food labeling, healthy food preparation, and the significance of nutrition in relation to physical activity, body composition, and health. Further, it examines key guidelines, professional roles in nutrition, healthy eating advice, and sources of nutritional information. The workbook also addresses nationally recommended practices for providing nutritional advice, including professional boundaries, communication of health risks, and the implications of energy restriction and weight loss. It explores the relationship between nutrition and physical activity, including energy expenditure, BMR calculation, and nutritional requirements. The workbook also discusses collecting and analyzing nutritional information, setting nutritional goals, and applying motivational strategies for clients, culminating in the design and implementation of nutritional goals within a physical activity program.
