Special Needs Assignment |
|
|
No two athletes are exactly the same. Some may be overweight, underweight,
diabetic, are vegetarians, have food allergies like celiac disease or
lactose intolerance and/or other conditions.
Some athletes deal with a condition called "muscle dysmorphia".
Pick a few special situations and research them.
Ideas include:
Diabetic athletes, Vegetarians, Lactose Intolerance, Celiac Disease/Gluten
Allergy, Peanut Allergies, Anorexia/Bulemia (only if that applies to your
chosen sport)etc.
Your job is to understand how you can alter their meal plan and still give
your athletes the proper nutrition that they need. Learn about these
conditions and how to feed these ahtletes with special needs. Describe how
you would alter the diets of these special populations and adjust their meal
plans. After your team has made menus for the athletes, show how you would
change the menu and give alternatives for those athletes with these food
allergies/special needs. |
