This instructional handbook is one of a series of ten packets designed to form a comprehensive course in nutrition for secondary students. This booklet examines some of the more common myths associated with sport nutrition and provides basic guidelines for sound dietary habits for both athletes and nonathletes. It contains a page of teaching suggestions, a pre-test for the students, and factual nutrition information with examples of how this information can be used in daily living. A post-test and bibliography are included.(JD)
