Product Description
Review
"This is an excellent resource for readers interested in furthering their understanding of sport and exercise nutrition through a combined scientific and practical approach. It is well organized and does a great job of focusing on the key points, allowing readers to decide to what extent they would like to further their knowledge in a particular subdiscipline." (Doody′s, 20 January 2012)
Product Description
Now widely adopted on courses throughout the world, the prestigious Nutrition Society Textbook series provides students with the scientific basics in nutrition in the context of a systems and disease approach rather than on a nutrient by nutrient basis. In addition books provide a means to enable teachers and students to explore the core principles of nutrition and to apply these throughout their training to foster critical thinking at all times.
This NS Textbook on Sport and Exercise Nutrition has been written to cover the latest information on the science and practice of sport and exercise nutrition. A key concept behind this textbook is that it aims to combine the viewpoints of world leading nutrition experts from both academia/research and a practical stand point. Plus where necessary there are additional practitioner based authors to ensure theory is translated into practice for each chapter in the form of either ‘practice tips′ or ‘information sheets′ at the end of relevant chapters.
The textbook in essence can be divided into three distinct but integrated parts:
- Part 1: covers the key components of the science that supports the practice of sport and exercise nutrition including comprehensive reviews on: nutrients both in general and as exercise fuels; exercise physiology; hydration, micronutrients; and supplements.
- Part 2: moves into focusing on specific nutrition strategies to support different types of training including: resistance; power/sprint; middle distance/speed endurance; endurance; technical/skill, team; and specific competition nutrition needs.
The unique format of this textbook is that it breaks down nutrition support into training specific as opposed to the traditional sport specific support. This reflects the majority of current sport and exercise requirements of the need to undertake concurrent training and therefore facilitating targeted nutrition support to the different training components through the various macro and micro training cycles. - Part 3: explores some of the practical issues encountered in working in the sport and exercise nutrition field and includes key sport related topics such as: disability sport; weight management; eating disorders; bone and gut health; immunity; injury; travel; and special populations and situations.
READERSHIP: Students of nutrition and dietetics at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. All those working in the field of nutrition and related health sciences.

Digital edition is missing lots of figures
20 Mar 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought the Kindle edition of this book and it's missing lots of figures. The legend is present but where the figure should be there is a label that says "Image not available in this digital edition."
I ended up returning it (which you can do within 7 days of purchase). I'd rather just get it from the library and see the figures that way. I mean, why bother even offer a technical book missing figures?
