CSSD - Sports Dietetics study plan
CSSD - Sports Dietetics · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
Exercise and performance nutrition
Review ATP pathways, glycogen roles, substrate use, expenditure estimates, and the full athlete context.
Distinguish measured observations from long-term causal or clinical claims.
Your checkpoint
A session-demand map and an assessment worksheet with uncertainty recorded.
Exercise and performance nutrition
Translate carbohydrate and protein goals into feasible foods, timing, and access.
Practice tolerance and logistics under relevant training conditions.
Your checkpoint
An individualized example day and event supply plan with checked portions.
Exercise and performance nutrition
Recompute sweat, concentration, sodium, and fluid examples using explicit units.
Review overdrinking risk, emergency escalation, evidence quality, and supplement verification.
Your checkpoint
A context-specific hydration worksheet and a documented product-risk assessment.
Clinical sports nutrition
Review REDs across sexes, assessment uncertainty, screening, and access barriers.
Evaluate measurement protocols and health-protective communication.
Your checkpoint
A nonjudgmental clinical case assessment and feasible nutrition restoration plan.
Clinical sports nutrition
Practice injury, iron, celiac, allergy, lactose, diabetes, and life-stage scenarios.
Define substantive dietetic interventions and coordinated medical responsibilities.
Your checkpoint
Two MNT cases with monitoring measures and explicit clinical boundaries.
Nutrition operations and resource management
Plan menus, service access, allergies, travel, time-temperature controls, and traceability.
Calculate portions, scale, yield, cost, waste, inventory, and reorder quantities.
Your checkpoint
A safe accessible service plan and independently checked resource worksheet.
Nutrition operations and resource management
Use teach-back and distinguish process, behavior, clinical, and performance measures.
Manage privacy, roles, conflicts, and honest communication.
Your checkpoint
A pilot evaluation protocol with matching measures and limitations.
Clinical sports nutrition
Complete a mixed question set without reading keys and explain each decision.
Reproduce calculations and compare remaining gaps with the current CDR outline.
Your checkpoint
An error log and an integrated athlete-to-service case review.
Milestones
Week 3: Build a feasible athlete fueling and fluid plan and reproduce every supplied calculation with units and limitations.
Week 8: Complete an integrated MNT and operations case, a blind mixed question set, and a current-outline gap review.
