As the number of child and adolescent athletes continues to
increase each year, more children are being exposed to greater
training volumes and increasing physical demands-making the need
for nutritional and recovery guidance increasingly important. While
massive amounts of empirical research are published each year on
responses and adaptations to exercise and nutrition, a relative
lack of this data is focused on children and adolescents. Filling
this need, Sports Nutrition Needs for Child and Adolescent Athletes
explores the optimal sports nutrition needs for the child and
adolescent athlete in three, detailed sections. The first
section-Nutritional Foundation-supplies a comprehensive look at
topics that relate to nearly every athlete. It focuses on the need
for optimal nutrition in youth athlete populations, highlighting
energy, body composition, hydration, and both macro- and
micro-nutrient requirements. The second section-Special
Considerations in Child and Adolescent Athletes-focuses on topics
that are more specific. This section includes coverage of the
impact of common recreational drugs on exercise performance,
steroid use in youth and associated dangers, key elements of
working with diabetic and other clinically relevant populations, as
well as discussions that relate to overweight and weight-conscious
athletes, respectively. The final section-A Hands-On
Approach-reviews nutritional programs for both child and adolescent
athletes. It uses an easy-to-understand approach to discuss and
apply situations that can challenge athletes, their parents, and
coaches by making sure young athletes are well fueled and recovered
for all sporting situations. For the purposes of the research
presented in this book, a child athlete is defined as an athlete
between the ages of 7 and 12 years while an adolescent athlete is
defined as an athlete 13-17 years of age.
