Course Objectives:
• Identify common food sources that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
• Discuss the scientific evidence base that underpins the role of omega-3 fatty acids in promoting muscle hypertrophy.
• Explain the proposed mechanisms that underpin the link between omega-3 fatty acids, training adaptation and exercise recovery in athletes.
