Chapter 01: Introduction to Sports Nutrition
PURPOSE AND PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHAPTER
The purpose of this chapter is to understand the need for an integrated training and nutrition plan. The
chapter reviews basic nutrition guidelines and helps the student to see how an athlete’s nutrition goals
may build upon these basic guidelines. A credentialed expert can assist an individual in developing an
integrated training and nutrition plan, so this chapter will also help the student identify credible exercise
and nutrition certifications.
CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
1.1 Explain the need for an integrated training and nutrition plan.
1.2 Explain basic nutrition principles and how they apply to athletes.
1.3 List sports nutrition goals.
1.4 Outline the basic issues related to dietary supplements and ergogenic aids, such as legality, ethics,
purity, safety, and effectiveness.
1.5 Distinguish between types of research studies, strengths and weaknesses of research designs, and
correlation and causation.
1.6 Compare and contrast the academic training and experience necessary to obtain various exercise
and nutrition certifications.

KEY TERMS
Adulterate: To taint or make impure.
Aerobic: “With oxygen.” Refers to exercise that primarily uses the oxygen-dependent energy system,
oxidative phosphorylation.
Anaerobic: “Without oxygen.” Refers to exercise that primarily uses one or both of the energy systems
that are not dependent on oxygen, creatine phosphate or anaerobic glycolysis.
Atrophy: A wasting or decrease in organ or tissue size.
Cardiovascular fitness: Ability to perform endurance-type activities, determined by the heart’s
ability to provide a sufficient amount of oxygen-laden blood to exercising muscles and the ability of those
muscles to take up and use the oxygen.
Case study: An analysis of a person or a particular situation.
Causation: One variable causes an effect. Also known as causality.
Chronic: Lasts for a long period of time. Opposite of acute.
Consensus: General agreement among members of a group.
Correlation: A relationship between variables. Does not imply that one causes the other.
Crash diet: Severe restriction of food intake in an attempt to lose large amounts of body fat rapidly.
Daily Value (DV): A term used on food labels; estimates the amount of certain nutrients needed each
day based on a 2,000-calorie diet. Not as specific as Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI).
Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI): Standard for essential nutrients and other components of food
needed by a healthy individual.
Disordered eating (DE): A deviation from normal eating but not as severe as an eating disorder.
Eating disorders (ED): A substantial deviation from normal eating, which meets established
diagnostic criteria (for example, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa).
Electrolyte: A mineral in solution that conducts an electrical current (for example, sodium, potassium).
Energy: The capacity to do work. In the context of dietary intake, energy is defined as the caloric
content of a food or beverage.
Epidemiological study: The study of health-related events in a population.

Chapter 01: Introduction to Sports Nutrition
Ergogenic aid: Any technique, device, or substance used to improve athletic performance.
Evidence-based recommendations: Recommendations based on scientific studies that document
effectiveness.
Experimental study: A research experiment that tests a specific question or hypothesis.
Fatigue: Decreased capacity to do mental or physical work.
Fiber: A form of carbohydrate from plant sources that resists digestion(for example, pectin, cellulose).
Glycogen: A highly branched glucose chain. The storage form of carbohydrates in humans and animals.
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP): Quality control procedures for the manufacture of
products ingested by humans to ensure quality and purity.
Hypohydration: An insufficient amount of water; below the normal state of hydration.
Hyponatremia: Low blood sodium level.
Intensity: The absolute or relative difficulty of physical activity or exercise.
Macronutrient: Nutrient needed in relatively large amounts. The term includes energy, carbohydrates,
proteins, fats, cholesterol, and fiber but frequently refers to carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
Micronutrient: Nutrient needed in relatively small amounts. The term is frequently applied to all
vitamins and minerals.
Mortality: Death; the number of deaths in a population.
Nutrient dense: A food containing a relatively high amount of nutrients compared to its caloric
content.
Overload: An exercise stimulus that is of sufficient magnitude to cause enough stress to warrant long-
term changes by the body.
Periodization: Dividing a block of time into distinct periods. When applied to athletics, the creation of
time periods with distinct training goals and a nutrition plan to support the training necessary to meet
those goals.
Placebo: An inactive substance.
Plyometric: A specialized type of athletic training that involves powerful, explosive movements. These
movements are preceded by rapid stretching of the muscles or muscle groups that are used in the
subsequent movement.
Recovery: An undefined period of time after exercise for rest, replenishment, and adaptation.
Scope of practice: Legal scope of work based on academic training, knowledge, and experience.
Specificity: A training principle that stresses muscles in a manner similar to the way in which they are
to perform.
