SPORTS NUTRITION PROJECT PAPER

Project: The goals of this project are to research current literature and design a case study interrelating sport science and nutrition. To begin the project, you
will need to select and identify:

food intake when you turn in the assignment. You can refer to the assignment from week one for steps on using the online analysis programs.

3. What are the athlete’s specific nutrition recommendations based on the main energy system being used and type of sport (strength/power, endurance,
ultraendurance, etc)?
4. Does the athlete’s diet meet the recommendation for your chosen nutrition parameters? If not, what are some specific recommendations that you would
make to the athlete to improve their diet to meet their nutritional needs? If they are meeting some or all of the nutritional requirements, what are they and w…
