Exercise by itself tears down the body. To rebuild that body so
that it expresses greater strength, endurance, and speed, requires
sound nutritional practices based on fact rather than fad. Those
practices must also recognize that specific needs vary greatly
according to age, gender, and intensity of exercise. Sports
Nutrition: Energy Metabolism and Exercise offers a cutting-edge
investigation of energy metabolism and exercise in relation to
sports nutrition. Edited by the team of Ira Wolinsky and Judy
Driskell, who continue to build on their reputation as leading
experts on sports-nutrition, and written by researchers qualified
for the task, this myth-busting work presents- -New findings on
essential energy-yielding nutrients -New material on the estimation
of energy requirements Various chapters examine the active body's
need for energy-yielding carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. The
book also considers laboratory methods for determining the energy
expenditure of athletes as well as unique assessment methods used
to measure activity in the field. In addition, the text considers
important physiological aspects of energy metabolism such as body
weight regulation, and examines variances necessitated by gender
and age. Based on rigorous research, this readable work offers
sound advice for all those concerned with the proper nourishment of
the active body. Nutritionists, trainers, exercise physiologists,
and athletes themselves will find much food for thought on
nutrition science, as well as practical guidance in determining the
ingredients required to maximize training.
