Course Requirements Written Tests 6 All
tests will be take home (possible exception is
final) these tests are accumulative Grades
grades are based on a competitive scale student

Notes etc. Each section will have power-point
lectures associated with it these can be
accessed on the web (I hope). There will be
readings associated with each section. There is
no date (day) associated specifically with each
lecture or with each test. It is not possible to
know exactly the length of each lecture and
question(s)/answer period.

• Phone [phone]
• Course Description the course is design to
  provide in-depth information concerning the
  inter-relation of exercise and nutrition.
  Discussions will include the effects of nutrition
  on sport, exercise for health and as an
  intervention for metabolic diseases.
• Course Objectives
• To understand basic nutrition and how it effects
  metabolic processes and physical activity
• To understand how nutrition can potentially
  effect exercise and sports performance
• To understand the potential role of exercise and
  nutrition in health
