Product Description
Avery’s Sports Nutrition Almanac
A comprehensive guide to personal nutrition is geared specifically toward anyone engaging in physical activity and dispenses current information about supplements, hormones, amino acids, and other sports-related diet issues. Original. Designed to keep readers apace with the world of sports nutrition and fitness. This guide covers advances in effective sports supplements and includes a dictionary of training and health terms and a who’s who of big names in sports nutrition.
Behind every professional athlete is a customized nutritional program incorporating the latest nutritional breakthroughs for the best possible performance. Now, nonprofessional athletes and weekend warriors can access the information experts use to design these programs, and put it to work for their own health and fitness.
Avery’s Sports Nutrition Almanac makes sense of the confusing research and often contradictory claims about vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids, protein Powders, hormones, sports herbals, enzymes, and the new generation of supplements. It communicates the latest thinking on topics like free radicals, beta-carotene, carbo-loading for women, and carnitine and male infertility; and it details the training regimes and nutritional programs of well-known athletes.
