Description:


Food and drink choices
before, during and after training and competition have
a direct impact on health, body mass and composition, nutrient
availability and recovery time, and an
optimal diet can significantly improve exercise
performance. Nutrition for Sport and Exercise
outlines the fundamental principles of nutrition in
relation to sport and exercise and then applies these principles
through practical tools such as food and nutrient lists, recipes
and menu options. This practical guide translates the
athlete?s goals into achievable strategies and shortens the
gap between theory and practice. Equipping the reader to
successfully implement dietary changes, this is an invaluable
resource for athletes, sports physicians and undergraduate students
of nutrition and sport and exercise science courses.
