Sports participation opportunities for individuals with impairments
are increasing. Whether an athlete is beginning a sport or
competing on the world stage for a podium finish, nutrition is
recognized as being integral to optimizing their health, training
capacity, and performance. Some athletes with impairments are
physiologically similar to their able-bodied counterparts, whereby
the application of sports nutrition principles is straightforward.
However, athletes with certain impairments require a very
individualized approach when applying these principles in a
practical way. Fully updated and expanded, this second edition of
Sports Nutrition for Paralympic Athletes is an essential resource
for sports nutrition practitioners who work alongside athletes with
an impairment, whether that be physical, visual, hearing, or
intellectual. In addition to chapters devoted to each impairment
type, this book covers specific areas including medical
considerations, body composition, supplements, and practical
aspects that can be applied across all athletes and sports. Case
studies and messages from athletes and world-class coaches enhance
the application of theoretical research into practice providing the
most relevant sports nutrition advice to Para athletes. Features
New chapters on energy availability in Para athletes and cooling
and hydration for the Para athlete Concise review of current sports
nutrition recommendations for athletes, both during training and in
competition Provides practical guidance and examples on how to
apply sports nutrition principles to each impairment type Includes
real life experiences of Para athletes, elite coaches, and
practitioners Encompasses wider topics of assessing body
composition, medical considerations, and supplement use specific to
Para athletes Features insight and experiences gained by
practitioners over the three major Paralympic Games since the first
edition Sports nutrition can be the difference between being
competitive and making the podium. With the rapidly increasing
Paralympic profile, this book is valuable for professionals
endeavoring to give their athletes the competitive edge - it
challenges, stimulates, and drives future research in this area to
continue to improve the delivery of this intrinsic component of
athlete preparation.
