4 Level 3 Credit value 10 GLH 60 Observation(s) 0 External paper(s) 0

5 Sports nutrition Learning outcomes On completion of this unit you will: 1. Know the concepts of nutrition and digestion 2. Know energy intake and expenditure in sports performance 3. Know the relationship between hydration and sports performance 4. Be able to plan a diet appropriate for a selected sports activity Evidence requirements 1. Knowledge outcomes There must be evidence that you possess all the knowledge and understanding listed in the Knowledge section of this unit. In most cases this can be done by professional discussion and/or oral questioning. Other methods, such as projects, assignments and/or reflective accounts may also be used. 2. Tutor/Assessor guidance You will be guided by your tutor/assessor on how to achieve learning outcomes in this unit. All outcomes must be achieved. 3. External paper There is no external paper requirement for this unit. UV

6 Developing knowledge Achieving knowledge outcomes You will be guided by your tutor and assessor on the evidence that needs to be produced. Your knowledge and understanding will be assessed using the assessment methods listed below*: Projects Observed work Witness statements Audio-visual media Evidence of prior learning or attainment Written questions Oral questions Assignments Case studies Professional discussion Where applicable your assessor will integrate knowledge outcomes into practical observations through professional discussion and/or oral questioning. When a criterion has been orally questioned and achieved, your assessor will record this evidence in written form or by other appropriate means. There is no need for you to produce additional evidence as this criterion has already been achieved. Some knowledge and understanding outcomes may require you to show that you know and understand how to do something. If you have practical evidence from your own work that meets knowledge criteria, then there is no requirement for you to be questioned again on the same topic. *This is not an exhaustive list. 4 UV31542

11 Unit content This section provides guidance on the recommended knowledge and skills required to enable you to achieve each of the learning outcomes in this unit. Your tutor/assessor will ensure you have the opportunity to cover all of the unit content. Learning outcome 1: Know the concepts of nutrition and digestion Nutrition: Macronutrients carbohydrates, proteins, fat, dietary sources. Micronutrients vitamins, minerals, fibre, dietary sources. Nutritional requirements Eatwell plate, 5-a-day, government healthy eating guidelines. Public health sources National Health Service, Food Standards Agency, British Nutrition Foundation. Nutritional terminology Guidline Daily Amount (GDA), Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA), glycemic index. Digestive system: Functions of digestive system ingestion, movement of food, digestion, absorption, excretion. Structure and function mouth, tongue, salivary glands, teeth, oesophagus, stomach, duodenum, pancreas, liver, gall bladder, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, kidneys, digestive juices and enzymes. Learning outcome 2: Know energy intake and expenditure in sports performance Energy intake and expenditure: Energy measures (calories, joules, kilocalories, kilojoules), energy value of macronutrients, components of energy expenditure (Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR), physical activity level), energy requirements and expenditure for different sport and exercise activities, estimating daily calorie intake and expenditure. Energy balance: Energy balance equation, positive energy balance and weight gain, neutral energy balance and weight maintenance, negative energy balance and weight loss, importance in relation to sports performance (e.g. meeting energy demands of the activity, weight management, achieving weight classification, optimising performance). UV

12 Learning outcome 3: Know the relationship between hydration and sports performance Hydration: Signs and symptoms (dehydration, hypohydration, hyperhydration, superhydration), recommendations for water intake, use of sports drinks (hypertonic, hypotonic, isotonic), hydration strategies for different sports (pre, during and post training or competition), effects of hydration on sports performance (frequency, intensity, duration, recovery, progression). Learning outcome 4: Be able to plan a diet appropriate for a selected sports activity Sports: Sports performers (e.g. football, rugby, tennis, swimming, weight training, athletics), sports activities (e.g. training, competition, event). Diet plan: Aims (optimise performance and recovery, weight gain, weight loss, muscle gain), SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-bound) targets, estimate daily calorie intake and expenditure, calculate required proportions of macronutrients to meet needs, plan food and fluid intake (timings, content, amount), plan nutrition and hydration strategies (pre, during, and post training or competition). 10 UV31542
