Sports nutrition has evolved beyond what to eat and how much to eat
to now include the question of when to eat. A hot topic in sports
nutrition, nutrient timing is a dietary concept that takes into
account time as a missing dimension in athletic performance and
recovery. Not only is the consumption of nutrients in ideal amounts
and proportions important, but the timing with which they are
administered is also of prime importance-the right nutrients at the
ideal time to affect performance and muscular growth. Nutrient
Timing: Metabolic Optimization for Health, Performance, and
Recovery presents the most authoritative text to date that
scientifically examines the contemporary topic of nutrient timing.
Worldwide research continues to rapidly explore the metabolic
impact of nutrient timing and how its proper application may help
to improve performance. With contributions from scientists and
practitioners in the field, this book gathers the latest
evidence-based information on this cutting-edge area. The chapters
cover macronutrients-carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids-and their
role in sporting activity, as well as an examination of vitamins
and minerals. The core of the book focuses on pre-exercise,
mid-exercise, and post-exercise considerations for both resistance
and aerobically mediated activity. Using the models presented,
individuals may improve performance, promote optimal adaptations to
training, maximize recovery, and facilitate healthy interactions
with their environment. The final chapters of the book describe
future concepts in nutrient timing, including the impact of protein
source in the context of timing, how nutrient timing can fit in
with a comprehensive recovery program, and the application of the
ideas discussed in unique populations such as the aged, the
military, and populations interested in weight loss. This text
provides solid data from the scientists themselves, giving
researchers, teachers,
