Susan Lanham-New – Sport and Exercise Nutrition (The Nutrition Society Textbook) – Mac-…
Please note that the digital version does not include all illustrations found in printed books.
Currently widely used in courses around the world, the prestigious Association of Nutrition textbooks provide students with the science behind nutrition in the context of systemic and disease-related access rather than nutrition. by nutrition.
In addition, books allow teachers and students to explore the fundamentals of nutrition and apply them throughout their training to encourage critical thinking at all times.
This NS Textbook on Sport and Exercise Nutrition has been written to cover the latest information on the science and practice of sport and exercise nutrition. A key concept behind this textbook is that it aims to combine the viewpoints of world leading nutrition experts from both academia/research and a practical stand point.
Plus where necessary there are additional practitioner based authors to ensure theory is translated into practice for each chapter in the form of either ‘practice tips’ or ‘information sheets’ at the end of relevant chapters.
The textbook in essence can be divided into three distinct but integrated parts:
Part 1: covers the key components of the science that supports the practice of sport and exercise nutrition including comprehensive reviews on: nutrients both in general and as exercise fuels; exercise physiology; hydration, micronutrients; and supplements.
Part 2: moves into focusing on specific nutrition strategies to support different types of training including: resistance; power/sprint; middle distance/speed endurance; endurance; technical/skill, team; and specific competition nutrition needs.
The unique format of this textbook is that it breaks down nutrition support into training specific as opposed to the traditional sport specific support. This reflects the majority of current sport and exercise requirements of the need to undertake concurrent training and therefore facilitating targeted nutrition support to the different training components through the various macro and micro training cycles.
Part 3: explores some of the practical issues encountered in working in the sport and exercise nutrition field and includes key sport related topics such as: disability sport; weight management; eating disorders; bone and gut health; immunity; injury; travel; and special populations and situations.
READERSHIP: Students of nutrition and dietetics at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. All those working in the field of nutrition and related health sciences.
