Standard grading. Sample question: Which is the primary fuel during low-intensity, long-duration exercise? A. Carbohydrate B. Protein C. Lipid D. All are used equally Projects Example: Students will describe the effectiveness and safety concerns of nutritional supplements/ergogenic aids through a class presentation. Presentations will be evaluated using an instructor created rubric. Reports Example: Students will analyze and critique individual dietary intake for optimization of physical performance. Reports will be evaluated using an instructor created rubric. Repeatable No Methods of Instruction Laboratory Lecture/Discussion Distance Learning Lab: Instructor will demonstrate the various measurement techniques for body composition upon each other. Students will then participate in a class discussion to compare and contrast these methods and their accuracy. Lecture: Following an instructor lecture on ergogenic aids, students will work together in small groups and summarize the effectiveness, safety and legality of various ergogenic aids. Students will present this information to the rest of the class. Distance Learning Instructor will present lecture materials regarding the definition of energy and the energy systems used during physical activity varying in intensity and duration. Students will respond to a corresponding discussion prompt and reply to at least 2 other student posts Typical Out of Class Assignments Reading Assignments 1. Read chapter on "Optimizing Health and Wellness Throughout the Lifespan" and answer the Review Questions. 2. Read and evaluate validity of Sports Nutrition websites by using the method described in the textbook. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1. Analyze your own diet and activity using an online nutrient assessment program to determine whether nutrient intake is sufficient to support physical activity. 2. Calculate and compare resting metabolic rate using the Harris-Benedict, Mifflin-St.Jeore, and the simplified methods. Other (Term projects, research papers, portfolios, etc.) 1. Prepare to present information regarding a single sport examining the training, rules, equipment, and nutrition plan required for success. 2. Research one ergogenic aid and write a research report emphasizing current research, safety, and ethical concerns.
