In order to achieve and maintain peak performance, high-level
athletes require the right nutrition at the right time. Nutrition
for Elite Athletes provides a comprehensive overview of the latest
research on the nutritional requirements of athletes at the top of
their game. Since researchers, clinicians, and graduate students
work with certain populations of athletes, such as endurance
athletes, and not single nutrients or metabolic systems, this book
arranges topics by 1) athletic population and 2) nutrition
/exercise interactions that reach across athletic sub-populations
(such as recovery nutrition), instead of by nutrients or metabolic
system. Bringing together the contributions of well-known experts
from around the world, the book identifies the nutritional needs of
endurance athletes, strength power athletes, team sport athletes,
and weight class/aesthetic sport athletes. In addition to coverage
of recovery nutrition and energy balance, the book: Reviews the
foundations of energy metabolism Considers dietary supplements,
food safety, and drug/nutrient/exercise interactions Examines
hydration requirements for various types of athletes Explores how
vitamins and minerals impact performance The book assumes an
understanding of the terms discussed in introductory nutrition
courses as well as an understanding of metabolic systems concepts
taught in undergraduate nutrition and exercise physiology courses.
By doing so, the authors are able to get right into detailing the
nutritional needs of elite athletes. In addition to its appeal for
dieticians, researchers, and clinicians working with elite
athletes, this book is suitable for use as a textbook for
upper-level exercise nutrition and metabolism courses.
