Advanced sports nutrition

This edition has been updated with new references and information in every chapter, but it also includes chapters that are entirely new. For example, many athletes face chronic or acute GI problems that interfere with training and performance. Included in this edition is information to help athletes understand the possible causes of GI distress and strategies for alleviating these problems. Chapter 5 includes material on gluten intolerance (celiac disease), which is increasingly prevalent in both athlete and nonathlete groups. This new edition also includes evidenced-based research findings on nutrition strategies for reducing muscle soreness, an area that has recently received a great deal of scientific attention but for which there remains an enormous amount of misinformation.
