As sport has become more professionalised over the last thirty
years, so the role of nutrition in promoting health and performance
has become ever more important to athletes who search for the extra
edge to succeed in their respective sports. With the expansion in
the provision of medical and scientific support services in elite
sport, those who advise athletes have had to become adept at
identifying those dietary strategies that will help them to
outperform their competitors. This book is structured in two parts.
The first analyses the science that underpins the nutritional goals
of athletes, with a focus on the implications for athletes during
training, competition and recovery. The second looks more closely
at the practical implications for different sport categories, i.e.
those that focus on strength, power or endurance, and on weight
category sports, team sports and winter sports. This volume will be
of value to sports dieticians and nutritionists and others involved
in the care and support of athletes, as well as to those who take
an interest in the subject of sport nutrition and competitive
performance. Coaches and athletes will also find much of interest
here. This book is based on the proceedings of the third in a
series of Consensus Conferences in Sports Nutrition organised under
the auspices of the International Olympic Committee. It was
published as a special issue of the Journal of Sports Sciences.
