More DescriptionSupplying hard-to-find-information, this book discusses issues related to the life cycle, group-specific nutritional concerns of athletes, and the particular sport of the athlete. It addresses the physically and medically disabled athlete, athletes addicted to alcohol, tobacco, or marijuana, and those with eating disorders. The book also focuses on the nutritional applications of exercise and sport rather than the usual treatment of nutrient-specific metabolism. Studies and tables clearly illustrate the concepts and provide quick and easy access to the information readers need to put theory into practice. It serves as a companion resource to books that take a nutrient/metabolism specific approach.
