About the course

The course consists of theoretical and practical elements focused on nutritional and physiological aspects of body composition, anthropometry, energy expenditure, and fat and carbohydrate utilization at rest and during physical activity. Furthermore, it addresses the nutritional and physiological mechanisms of interventions with diet and dietary supplements, as well as the physiological effects of nutritional deficiencies and obesity. The course includes a limited in-depth group project, a client project focusing on nutritional physiological and clinical measurements of health-related factors, nutritional status, and a dietary analysis. The client can be an athlete or an individual who wants to improve their physical fitness, health, and nutritional status. Great emphasis is placed on reflection, analysis, and application of information from scientific articles and the client project, considering risks, weaknesses, and opportunities with dietary and nutritional strategies from a client perspective.
