NUTRITION AND FITNESS

Introduction
Individuals behave differently according to their energy level at a certain time of a day or according to the different activities performed during a period of time. The agility to perform an activity depends on the energy level of the individual for that required activity. For example, a soccer player will need high levels of energy to be used in short periods of time, while an astronaut will also need high levels of energy to be used over longer periods of time.
Lesson Objective
In this lesson, students will investigate the importance of nutrition and fitness to improve and maintain their health. Compare the similarities and differences between the nutrition and fitness regimen that astronauts and soccer players need to achieve their goals.
