Assessing the physique of the athlete
Weight loss and making weight
Fluid and carbohydrate intake during exercise
Prevention, protection and treatment of iron deficiency and depletion

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and thoroughly researched, Jun 9 2010

This review is from: Clinical Sports Nutrition (Paperback)

I am about halfway into this book as part of an MSc course and I have found it to be well researched and laid out. The chapter summaries and tips at the end of each section are particularly useful to me.Honestly this title makes sport nutrition more interesting than I expected it to be. Please note that the fonts are slightly smaller than those in the preceding edition (which I borrowed from a friend). If you are in the age group to need reading glasses, you will need them .............. it is however not that big of a deal in the end since the previous edition's font is still small enough to make you put them on.

This review is from: Clinical Sports Nutrition (Paperback)

this book is a "must" for everyone who wants to start to learn the basic principles of sport nutrition. I do recommend it to students willing to improve their knowledge using the Practical tips sections at the end of each chapter.
