Learning Outcomes: On successful completion of this unit, students should be able to: * Demonstrate an understanding of basic metabolic pathways both at rest and during exercise, with specific recognition of the different role and varied importance of specific substrates. * Show awareness of the rate limiting steps in the above pathways and how this links to fatigue at a whole-body level in various real-world activities. * Demonstrate an understanding of how and why certain macro- and micro-nutrients can facilitate human performance and health. * Critically evaluate evidence relating to the potential ergogenic properties of specific nutritional supplements * Design, conduct and critique original research to test the efficacy of specific supplements * Gain the ability to present scientific data in a meaningful way to a lay audience. Skills: Knowledge and Understanding - taught, facilitated and assessed Intellectual Skills - facilitated and assessed Written Communication - facilitated and assessed Information Technology - facilitated Problem Solving - facilitated and assessed Working Independently - facilitated and assessed.
