The Most Comprehensive Encyclopedia on Modern Performance Nutrition Globally
Backed by more than two decades of K11’s scientific legacy
For the first time, K11 School of Fitness Sciences presents a 4-module, 791-page authoritative textbook series, Human Performance Nutrition Textbook, that decodes performance nutrition with scientific clarity, practical frameworks, and real-world applications.
Built on the philosophy of our Principal, Mr Kaizzad Capadia – “Science begins when myths are questioned” – this book brings together everything a fitness professional, athlete, or coach needs to understand the body, fuel performance, and transform outcomes.
The Importance of the Human Performance Nutrition Textbook
Because today’s world is drowning in fad diets, shortcuts, influencers and guesswork.
This book restores science, logic and truth to nutrition.
You’ll learn:
- How the human body actually works
- What fuels performance at a physiological level
- The truth behind macronutrients, micronutrients & hormones
- How to plan diets for goals, body composition & performance
- Evidence-based science behind supplements, recovery, hydration & trends
What is Inside the 4-Module Set of the Human Performance Nutrition Textbook?
Module 1: Core Science of Performance and Nutrition – Human Body, Vital Systems & Macronutrients
7 Chapters | 253 Pages
Overview
A deep foundation in human physiology, including vital body systems and macronutrient metabolism.
Key Insights from This Module
This is where you stop “following” nutrition and start understanding it.
Module 1 breaks down the human body, its fuel systems, and its nutrient requirements, much like an engineer’s blueprint.
What You’ll Discover
- How the body’s vital systems actually regulate energy, recovery & performance
- The real science of proteins, fats and carbohydrates – not the Instagram version
- What macros do inside your body at rest during workouts and during recovery
- Why athletes perform differently based on their biochemical design
- How poor macronutrient understanding leads to fatigue, plateaus & metabolic stress
The Value of This Module
If you don’t understand Module 1, you cannot design performance nutrition. This is your foundation – whether you want to help fat loss clients or elite athletes.

Module 1 Preview Edition – Understanding Carbohydrates: Monosaccharides to Polysaccharides
Module 2: Applied Physiology and Nutrition Science – Hormones, Hydration & Micronutrients
8 Chapters | 222 Pages
Overview
Learn everything the industry misunderstands about Calories In Calories Out (Energy balance model), Body Composition Regulation & Testing, Hormones in-depth, Energy systems & Performance, Water and Electrolytes, Vitamins and Minerals in depth.
Key Insights from This Module
The most successful people excel because they deeply understand the role of hormones, hydration, vitamins & minerals and not because they try hard. This module changes that – forever.
What You’ll Discover
- The science behind body composition beyond “calories in vs calories out”
- How hormones (insulin, cortisol, thyroid hormones, growth hormone, testosterone & estrogen) actually influence recovery, muscle growth & fat loss
- How hydration impacts strength, stamina, mood & performance
- Understanding the complete metabolic pathways of vitamins & minerals
- Early signs of micronutrient deficiencies and performance drop
The Value of This Module
This module allows you to design nutrition that works in harmony with the body, not against it.
For trainers & nutrition aspirants, this is what separates “generic programs/diet plans” from “science-backed coaching/nutrition plans”.
