IOC MOOC REFLECTION

IN this essay I will talk about the IOC MOOC .I watched “The smarter eating for better performance” I watched about 9 videos and each video had a different topic for example: how the food affects the athlete’s life and the factor that can affect their performance. The first video was about the type of people and how they are playing sports some of theme is  play sports for fun only 30 min/day and the other are athlete players .The physical activities affect the person life and they give  example they compare between a driver’s life and a conductor’s life and how the conductor has the same size of clothes every year and the driver has bigger size in each year .Being healthy athlete it is not only about the food only also it is depends on the natural of the person if you are overweight and you have good health is better than being slim and you have problems with your body like many people nowadays but that does not means being overweight .There was many topics in the videos like: issues with athlete’s like how they can eat well without being tired with doing exercises every day .There was very important points in the videos like :The impotence of type of exercise and the impotence of water and all of this things should have good timing because the timing effect in the athlete’s life. Also they give example from the real life like that there is some sports needs athlete’s with high body fat% . (Boxing) also the need of protein for normal person is (0.8g of protein /1kg) And the athlete’s need (1.4g-1.8g /1Kg)  also if the body loss 6Kg of Salt that means he need more water .And for every 1Kg you loss after doing sport that means you loss 1 liter of sweat .

I want to say that many ideas in this MOOC change my mind for example the importance of the timing in taking portion or doing sports so I will make sure about those things in my future life, also the body fat% is very interesting point many people thought if they have good shaping and they are slim that they are healthy but that is not true. Every person has different body principles and every one should understand how his body is working also the videos shows very good example in how the type of sports affect in building muscles by doing experiment that shows person doing different type of exercise in each leg and he end up with on leg has more muscles than the other, It was very Useful videos.
