Nutrition is the foundation of every athlete’s success. Whether you are a professional competitor, fitness enthusiast, or coach, understanding how to properly fuel the body can be the difference between good results and great ones. Performance Nutrition – Fuel Your Body for Sport and Exercise offers a comprehensive, science-based exploration of how nutrition influences energy, recovery, and overall athletic performance.

You’ll begin by learning the core principles of performance nutrition, including how the body uses food for energy during training and competition. The course breaks down macronutrients — carbohydrates, proteins, and fats — explaining their roles in fuelling performance, supporting muscle growth, and maintaining endurance. You’ll discover how to balance these nutrients effectively for your specific goals, whether you’re building strength, improving stamina, or recovering from intense workouts.

Next, you’ll explore the power of micronutrients, the vitamins and minerals that support metabolism, immunity, and muscle function. Even in small quantities, these nutrients have a massive impact on energy regulation, hydration, and long-term health. The course also takes a deep dive into sports supplements, covering what works, what doesn’t, and how to use legal, safe, and effective options to boost performance. From bicarbonate soda and creatine to caffeine, you’ll learn how these substances influence physical output, timing, and recovery when used correctly.

By the end of the course, you’ll have the knowledge to create your own performance-focused nutrition plan, understand the science behind dietary choices, and make informed decisions that align with your training goals. Whether you’re an athlete striving for competitive advantage or a coach guiding others to success, this course empowers you to fuel the body the right way — with purpose, precision, and balance.
