Energy System

Paper details:

Pick an energy system from chapters 13-15 in the textbook. Research one of the three energy systems. Develop a one day nutrition/eating plan for an athlete that uses that type of system. (do not copy the meals from the text). The meal plan should be applicable to the age group of your athlete. I.e if you have a high school football player pick foods normal high school athletes eat. They will have a much different palate and meal choices than a professional athlete. Create a PowerPoint presentation presenting the energy system and meal plan you created. (you will not present this, but you will turn in the PPT) There is no mandatory slide length. Make sure you describe the energy system and then the food choices. Be careful not to put too much information on each slide. I recommend using one slide for each meal. Make sure you talk about fluids as well as snacks. There is a difference between an ideal and realistic nutrition plan, make sure you are realistic with age group and food resources. For college kids think about what a cafeteria will offer. To make the plan more “real” make up a type of athlete and their story, use a slide to describe the athlete, their basic food choices prior to your plan and what the athlete likes and hates to eat etc. (this is not mandatory just an option to help you think through the assignment)
