The Sport Training and Nutrition class will focus on professional athletes, Olympic athletes, and the way they feed their bodies every day while training for their specific sport. We will discuss why athletes keep a balanced blood sugar, and how they prevent dehydration during intense training. We will discuss the urinary and cardio system briefly and why it is important to keep these organ systems in good condition for exercise. We will discuss studies on certain foods like beet juice and how they were found to change the performance of some athletes within the study. We will also discuss a recent study on using nutrition to help prevent brain injury occurrence in American Football athletes.
