Course Title NUTRITION AND ENERGY BALANCE IN EXERCISE AND SPORTS
Credit 3
Medium of Instruction English Language
Course Pre-requisite(s)/ Minimum None
Requirement(s)
Learning Outcomes At the end of the course, students are able to:
1. Explain the roles of macronutrients and micronutrients, nutrient digestion and
energy metabolism in the body during rest and exercise.
2. Assess the food intake, energy intake, energy production and body composition.
3. Explain the principles of energy balance and its application in weight
