Industry Presented Webinar - ​​Energy Demands and Nutrition Considerations for Adolescent Athletes​ Toolkit to Optimize their Health & Performance​

Sponsored by: Gatorade Sports Science Institute

About this course

This course will provide an overview of the physiological demands faced by adolescent athletes and how these demands translate into their daily energy (caloric) requirements. Participants will learn how to use resting metabolic rate (RMR) to assess the daily energy requirements of adolescent athletes and how to predict RMR using validated models. General nutrition recommendations regarding carbohydrate and protein intake for recovery and performance will also be covered.

What you will learn

  • Understand the physiological demands adolescent athletes face that separate them from adults and non-active adolescents
  • Understand the importance of energy availability for recovery and physical growth/maturation in adolescent athletes
  • Be better equipped to assess the daily energy (caloric) needs of their adolescent athletes using validated RMR prediction models (without needing expensive laboratory equipment or devices)
