In competitive sports where an extra breath or a millisecond
quicker neural response can spell the difference between fame and
mediocrity, a number of myths have persisted around the impact of
what might be considered megadoses of various vitamins and trace
elements. We do know that a growing body of research indicates that
work capacity, oxygen consumption, and other measures of physical
performance are affected by a deficiency or borderline deficiency
in specific vitamins or essential trace elements. However, when it
comes to providing larger doses, the research is conflicted The
second edition of Sports Nutrition: Vitamins and Trace Elements,
edited by two of the most respected experts in sports nutrition,
provides an updated critical review of these reports. The latest
volume of this highly popular work includes a collection of
chapters written by top researchers from several academic
disciplines. Applying their expertise in specific vitamin or trace
element nutrition as it relates to exercise and sports, they weigh
in on the full alphabet of vitamins as well as a variety of trace
elements, incorporating the most recent research. This edition adds
chapters on choline and iodine. It also emphasizes new findings on
vitamin and mineral metabolic reactions and provides in-depth
discussion on the overuse of vitamins to toxic levels and its
effect on physical performance. Sports nutritionists, sports
medicine and fitness professionals, researchers, exercise
physiologists, students, health practitioners, as well as those
lay-persons interested in optimal nutrition will find this book
especially timely and highly helpful in sorting myth from truth.
