Nutrition, Food Science and Technology

Sports nutrition supports both an athlete's performance and health. Diet with predominance of whole foods and hydration should be planned individually by sports nutrition professionals. Concept that ‘more of a good thing is better’ has been challenged for water and supplements with micronutrients and antioxidants. Novelties in the field include the concept of energy availability, meal-based protein recommendations, and ergogenic effects of carbohydrate mouth rinse. Topics for future research include further clarification of relationship between vitamin D status and performance, dietary strategies to enhance metabolic adaptations to exercise, and nutrient timing. Kinesiology is the scientific study of human body movement. Kinesiology addresses Physiological, Anatomical, Biomechanical, and Neuropsychological Principles and Mechanisms of Movement. Applications of kinesiology to human health include biomechanics and orthopedics; strength and conditioning; sport psychology; motor control; skill acquisition and motor learning; methods of rehabilitation, such as physical and occupational therapy; and sport and exercise physiology.
