100 cards
This deck is designed to build a solid foundation in the science of fueling athletic performance. It covers the three macronutrients in depth, exploring how carbohydrates, proteins, and fats each contribute to energy production, recovery, and overall health. You'll also work through key concepts like glycogen storage, nutrient timing, and the differences between simple and complex carbohydrates, as well as saturated and unsaturated fats. Together, these flashcards walk you through the basics every athlete or fitness enthusiast should understand.
The deck is well suited for athletes, coaches, personal trainers, sports science students, or anyone curious about how food choices affect training and competition. Whether you are preparing for an exam, planning your own nutrition strategy, or just wanting to separate fact from fad, the questions cover both foundational knowledge and more specific topics like BCAAs, omega-3s, and the anabolic window.
Because sports nutrition blends physiology with practical application, try to connect each card to a real-world scenario as you study. For example, when reviewing carbohydrate recommendations, think about how they would apply to a long run or a hard training session. Spacing your review sessions over several days works especially well here, since the material builds on itself and revisiting earlier concepts helps the newer ones stick. Consistent, short sessions will be more effective than cramming, leaving you with a confident grasp of how to fuel performance wisely.
