The objective of this course is to provide undergraduate students in Nutrition and Dietetics with an understanding of the physiological and morphological foundations of physical activity, exercise, and sports; to enable them to assess the components of physical fitness (conditioning) in individuals and athletes in order to develop personalized exercise prescriptions; and to ensure the planning of nutrition strategies that promote health and enhance performance during exercise.
The course covers: definitions of physical activity, exercise, and sport; the epidemiology of inactivity and its relationship to chronic diseases; cardiovascular, respiratory, and musculoskeletal system adaptations; components of physical fitness (health-related and skill-related), body composition models, and muscle fiber types; principles of exercise prescription (FITT format: type, intensity, duration, frequency); stages of an exercise session (warm-up, work phase, cool-down, stretching methods); macronutrient and micronutrient requirements based on exercise types (aerobic and resistance) and hydration strategies will be covered.
| Ins. Mahmut ÇERİ |
| 1. | Distinguishes between the concepts of physical activity, exercise, and sports; explains the risk factors associated with physical inactivity regarding chronic diseases and public health |
| 2. | By analyzing the components of physical fitness related to health and skill, it links muscle fiber types (Type I and Type II) to the physiological demands of different exercise disciplines |
| 3. | It calculates personalized exercise intensity and prescriptions based on individuals' functional capacity (MET, VO2max) and target heart rates (Karvonen / Heart Rate Reserve method). |
| 4. | It assesses the physiological adaptation mechanisms and the potential risks of injury or fatigue based on the phase (warm-up, exercise, cool-down) and type (aerobic/resistance) of the exercise performed by the individual. |
| 5. | It designs evidence-based nutrition and hydration protocols to optimize performance and promote health for individuals with varying levels of physical activity and exercise programs, as well as for athletes. |
