SPORTS NUTRITION WORKSHOP

As a capstone project for my nutrition education class and major, I created a nutrition education workshop with a group of other students focusing on female high school sports nutrition. We presented this to a local high school's field hockey team. To create the presentation we conducted an annotated bibliography, literature review, needs assessment, key informant interview, and watched many different types of presentations as reference. We focused on pre-during-post workout meals and snacks, as well as how to use MyPlate to model these ideas. We also taught them the basics of macronutrients and did some fun activities.
