This course builds on the understanding of energy intake, transformation, and liberation. Students learn to evaluate, create, and implement exercise programs for a variety of populations. This course builds on NTR 455 with a critical reasoning approach to clinical situations. Students apply an understanding of how nutrition and exercise interact to influence work capacity in children and adults. This course is partially Internet-based.
Students meet on site at least five times during the semester.
This elective course offers the opportunity to have individual field experience in one of the areas of nutrition. This course prepares students for NTR 490 and must be taken prior to NTR 490. NTR 489 provides the framework for the research project including problem statements, human subjects, literature review, sample size determination, questionnaire development, study design, copyright issues, computer software, data analysis, and controlling for bias and confounding data. Students are guided individually by a faculty member who will be their advisor for the research project. Students formally present their research to faculty and student colleagues.
