NSCA’s Guide to Sport and Exercise Nutrition, Second Edition,
presents valuable foundational information on the effects that
nutrition has on performance, health, and body composition. Whether
you work with fitness enthusiasts or competitive athletes, this
resource will help you understand and apply scientific findings so
that you can assess an individual’s nutrition status and—if it
falls within your scope of practice—develop customized nutrition
plans. Developed by the National Strength and Conditioning
Association (NSCA) with contributions from 13 experts in the areas
of nutrition and human performance, and subjected to an intensive
peer-review process, this authoritative resource covers all aspects
of food selection, digestion, metabolism, and hydration relevant to
sport and exercise performance. This second edition brings several
contemporary sport nutrition issues to the forefront, including
recent developments in relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S),
research related to carbohydrate mouth rinsing, the role of popular
dietary supplements, preworkout supplements, and the use of protein
and amino acids in improving aerobic endurance, strength, and
power. Examine the topic of energy balance and the implications of
undereating and overeating. Learn to use popular software and
smartphone apps to assess nutrition status. Understand what
macronutrients are and how they are metabolized, stored, and
oxidized for energy. Use science-based recommendations for using
macronutrients, micronutrients, and hydration to improve aerobic,
anaerobic, and strength-based performance. Finally, use
cutting-edge findings on nutrient timing based on the type,
intensity, and duration of activity to help you understand how to
recommend the correct nutrients at the ideal time to achieve
optimal performance results. NSCA’s Guide to Sport and Exercise
Nutrition includes professional application sections to draw the
connection between research and its practical implementation.
Sidebars emphasize important topics, and reproducible forms (a food
log, brief nutrition assessment, and goal-setting questionnaire)
can be copied and shared. A running glossary keeps key terms at
your fingertips, and extensive references within the text offer
starting points for your continued study and professional
enrichment. Each client and athlete can benefit from a customized
diet tailored to the frequency, intensity, duration, and
specificity of their training and demands of the sport or activity.
With NSCA’s Guide to Sport and Exercise Nutrition, you will get
an in-depth understanding of how food and sport supplements can
enhance exercise and sport performance for optimal training,
competition, and recovery. Earn continuing education credits/units!
