Product Description
Product Description
In every sport, at the level of casual runner or world-class athlete, eating correctly improves the quality of performance. Ultimate Sports Nutrition pays particular attention to the role of ergogenic aids (supplements both legal and questionable) which are so prevalent in the media currently. This includes things like Creatine, vitamin B-12, Omega-3 fatty acids, ginseng and phosphates among the other popular nutritional aids. There are also charts comparing "sports nutritionals" (sports drinks, bars, gels, liquid meals, and protein powders), a review of popular weight loss diets, discussions of fat, protein, carbohydrates, and vitamins and how they affect athletes. The authors also address the issues of hydration and body composition and the specific concerns of female athletes of all ages, rounding out the most up-to-date, comprehensive book for today's athlete.

I CANNOT GIVE AN ACCURATE REVIEW OF THIS ITEM
21 Jan 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I cannot give a considered review of this item.
1. I purchased it for a female friend.
2. The female friend wanted it to give to a relative.
3. Both my female friend and myself are ethically opposed to organised sport.
4. Our opposition is based on several observations.
a. Organised sport is far too commercially oriented.
b. Sport (not exercise) is excessively competitive.
c. Sports injuries overwhelm our medical facilities.
d. Sport (the opiate of the masses) is lauded way out of proportion.
5. Lots more but that should be enough.
