    Description
    Students will investigate the effects of nutrition and various dietary regimens on athletic performance, physical fitness, and general health. Students will compare the physiological effects of optimal nutrition vs. inadequate nutrition for the general population as well as athletes. Cultural, sociological, and psychological influences on diet, nutrition and athletic performance will be examined thoroughly. Current "fad" and supposed performance-enhancing diets and supplements will be discussed. (CSU) (AA/AS-4,7A CSU-E)
