We will review the basics of some of the regulatory programs found in the United States that support healthy students through nutrition education and nutrition programs. You will be able to explain some of the nutritional components such as, alternatives to the use of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages. Many of these principles can be applied to students in schools throughout the globe.

Learners will be able to explain MVPA, or moderate to vigorous physical activity. They will identify this as the newest method for measuring and evaluating what counts as physical activity in terms of METs. Participants in the course will be able to explain the science behind the recommended "60 minutes of Physical Activity" and what counts toward MVPA both during and outside of the school day.

Un ottimo corso per approfondire conoscenze alimentari e tecniche per adattare il giusto regime alimentare anche per i più piccoli o per determinate tipologie d'ambiente quotidiano come quello delle scuole. Un corso che forma la persona ad avere un giudizio consapevole della propria dieta e nel rendere partecipi gli altri di informazioni su una sana alimentazione con giusto metodo e tanta motivazione.

This component did not go to the same depth as the one on managing asthma, diabetes, seizures, allergies in the same speciality. It was adequate though but it would have been helpful if it had drawn more robust links between nutrition and physical activity and specific challenges. the presenter was very good.

It is said, "to teach is to learn twice."

Thank you for the opportunity to learn.

I will definitely incorporate what I have learnt thus far as in my Parent circle lessons in Early Childhood Education.

Good overview of interrelated topics, however, only on a very basic level. Not a very challenging course but covers all necessary information and I enjoyed it.
