About this course
Sports nutrition and health is a multidisciplinary degree designed for the growing demand for qualified practitioners who can apply nutritional science to both athletic performance and broader population health. To meet the growing local and global demands for sports nutrition and health experts, this programme takes a multidisciplinary approach exploring the psychology, physiology, and biochemistry theories of nutrition. Whether you want to work with amateur or elite athletes or in health and community-based environments, it is vital that you have an understanding of human psychology, disease, training, physical activity, and health. In the sport performance sector, understanding how nutrition plays a key role in how well an athlete performs, recovers, or adapts to their training is essential, and these principles are adaptable across settings from elite sport to public health promotion
