It reviews in detail many age-related changes that occur in the physiological systems, provides implications of these changes for masters athletes, coaches and clinicians, explores scientifically-based methods to maximize sprint, strength and power, team sport players, endurance and ultra-endurance performance, and focuses on the unique nutritional needs of master athletes.

The book includes material on endurance, ultra-endurance, speed, strength and power, and team sports athletes.

Book Synopsis Sports Nutrition for Endurance Athletes, 3rd Ed. by : Monique Ryan

Download or read book Sports Nutrition for Endurance Athletes, 3rd Ed. written by Monique Ryan. This book was released on 2012-03-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sports Nutrition for Endurance Athletes makes high-performance nutrition simple for running, cycling, triathlon, and swimming. Weighing in at 432 pages, this newly updated third edition is the most comprehensive resource on nutrition from the most experienced and highly qualified nutritionist in endurance sports. Ryan offers clear answers to the most fundamental questions in endurance sports nutrition--what should I eat, how much, and when--based on the latest research and experience from her 30-year career advising elite and age-group athletes and pro sports teams. She offers fine-tuning strategies for training and racing, optimal recovery, weight loss, and boosting strength-to-weight ratio. Citing rigorous and reputable studies, Ryan busts myths about ergogenic aids and supplements and offers a dose of reality to practices like fat loading and glycogen-depleted workouts. Since endurance sports are too different for a "one size fits all" food plan, Sports Nutrition for Endurance Athletes reveals how runners, cyclists, triathletes, and swimmers should fuel differently to gain real performance advantages in their sports. Even within each sport, optimal nutrition varies with the type and duration of events, so Ryan explains nutrition for short- and long-course triathlon; road, criterium, and mountain bike racing; 10K, half-marathon, and marathon; and sprint and distance swimming. This complete guide addresses a wide variety of special nutrition considerations for younger and older athletes, diabetics, vegetarians, pregnant women, and those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Sports Nutrition for Endurance Athletes also offers six appendixes of reference material including glycemic index, vitamin and mineral glossary, an up-to-date comparison of sports nutrition products, and sample menus. Smart nutrition can make the difference between a personal record and a lackluster season. Committed athletes and newcomers to endurance sports will both find Sports Nutrition for Endurance Athletes to be a comprehensive, easy-to-use guide to better performance in running, cycling, triathlon, and swimming.

Book Synopsis Sports Nutrition for Masters Athletes by : Peter G Nickless

Download or read book Sports Nutrition for Masters Athletes written by Peter G Nickless. This book was released on 2024-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Primarily I am writing this book to fill a need. Currently there is an increasing aging population participating in athletic endeavors. This includes an aging population that have been encouraged to focus more on exercise as a means of improving their health, as well, as, an increasing segment of the population over the age of 35 who compete actively in sports. There is a need to look at this population as a unique category and not just a sub-chapter in a sports nutrition text (this is how older athletes are commonly included in sports textbooks). This is a significant gap in the textbooks for the field of sports nutrition. A simple google search revealed only one textbook on the subject published in 2014. See below: Other texts may appear in a more exhaustive search, but the market has few offerings in an expanding category."--
