About Course

Sports nutrition for active adults connects everyday eating with recreational exercise. Learn the general roles of food, fluid, and recovery, and how to evaluate popular product claims. The course avoids one-size-fits-all calorie or supplement prescriptions and helps learners recognize when individual needs require qualified nutrition guidance.

Follow a beginner-friendly path through five modules and 15 lesson outlines. Each lesson identifies three focused study topics, helping you connect the ideas to practical decisions in your own setting.

Course Project: Prepare a sample training-day food and hydration plan with practical meal options, uncertainty notes, and questions for a qualified professional.

Scope of This Course: This is general education, not an individualized diet, exercise prescription, or professional qualification. Use current local food-safety guidance and appropriately qualified health or fitness advice.
