Food Fuelling Performance
Our Year 11 GCSE PE students have recently covered the topic of Diet & Nutrition as part of Paper 2. This has involved understanding the main components of our diet and how they can benefit our bodies, as well as how athletes can manipulate the content and timing of their meals to enhance performance.
To bring the topic to life, all three classes teamed up with the Food Tech Department to apply their learning. Students were tasked to plan and cook a suitable dish containing desirable macronutrient percentages for an athlete of their choice. Everyone did fantastically well, producing some great results; including pasta dishes, steaks, protein cookies, pizzas and much more.
It was so good to see each class working hard on this and demonstrating good life skills, whilst reinforcing their PE knowledge. Thank you to the Food Tech Department for hosting us!
