Aligning Diet and Exercise
Offered By: National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) via Coursera
Course Description
Overview
When considering body composition goals, modifications to both diet and exercise are inevitable. Most often, an individual’s dietary interventions do not align with their exercise regimen, which may diminish the potential for success.
This course explores the energy pathways and how macronutrients fuel exercise across intensity and duration, in addition to popular dietary interventions and their alignment with exercise recommendations. After completing this course, students will have a clear understanding of the body’s energy pathways, the effects of various dietary interventions on these pathways, as well as aligned diet and exercise recommendations that will help maximize success.
