Objectives: The intended result of this activity is increased knowledge/competence, and upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
  • Present studies that demonstrate why using 'weight' and associated measures, such as BMI, that fail to provide insights on an individual's body composition changes, are both misleading and counterproductive in working with athletes.
  • Provide data demonstrating that using 24-hour intakes for both macronutrients and
    micronutrients is misleading in the determination of nutrient intake adequacy, and may be associated with poor health, poor muscle recovery, and compromised muscle protein synthesis.
  • Analyze information related to relative energy availability, relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S) and energy substrate timing that are associated with improved body composition, lower health risks, and enhanced performance.
  • Synthesize information on common nutritional problems faced by young athletes in aesthetic/appearance sports, and appropriate nutritional strategies for helping to resolve these problems.
  • Provide data on how creating a within-day negative energy balance, often the result of poorly fueled exercise, negatively influences multiple hormones that compromise health and performance.
