Overview of Personal Exercise, Health and Nutrition
Qualification objectives
The objectives of this qualification are to help learners gain an understanding of:
- The impact of diet, nutrition and exercise on their personal health
- Safe and appropriate exercise
- The importance of personal motivation and setting goals and targets
Knowledge and understanding
The qualification enables learners to gain knowledge and understanding of the positive effects of exercise on long-term health and well-being and implementing an exercise plan with the appropriate nutritional requirements.
Poor diet and lack of exercise are recognised as some of the major contributors to ill health. Regular exercise and a balanced diet help to reduce stress, improve sleep, reduce the risk of illness and increase life quality. Therefore, having a good understanding of diets, the role of nutrition in exercise and personal motivation is an important part of maintaining well-being.
