Description
This webinar will provide an overview of the physiological demands faced by adolescent athletes and how these demands translate into their daily energy (caloric) requirements. Attendees 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.
Presenter: Khalil Lee, Ph.D., CSCS - Associate Principal Scientist, Gatorade Sports Science Institute Satellite Lab at IMG Academy.
Learning Objectives:
After participation, the attendee should:
1. Understand the physiological demands adolescent athletes face that separate them from adults and non-active adolescents
2. Understand the importance of energy availability for recovery and physical growth/maturation in adolescent athletes
3. 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)
