Winter Term- Exercise Physiology and Sport Nutrition (By Neilia Bliss, R.N., School Nurse)

Winter Term course students spent the first half of the term exploring the scientific basis of exercise and athletic performance. We studied the human body's physiological adaptation to exercise and fitness conditioning for athletic performance and everyday life. Our first field trip was to visit with an expert in the area of functional movement and conditioning at T4TG training center.

The second half of the term focused on nutrition principles as they apply to athletes and non-athletes. We looked at the role that nutrition can play in health and performance. Our recent field trip to a supermarket examined the psychology involved in the design and layout of the store, and how to focus on whole foods instead of processed products. Our final day wrapped up with healthy food prep and group project presentations!
