Addition of practical carbohydrate intake guidelines for athletes in a wide variety of sports ? Updated information on protein metabolism and recommendations on the type, amount, and timing of protein intake to maximize training adaptation ? Developments from the field of molecular biology that explain how adaptations to exercise training are influenced by nutrition ? Expanded coverage of the rapidly developing field of immunonutrition Sport Nutrition, Third Edition, includes a number of tools to facilitate student learning. More than 300 figures, tables, and photos offer visual illustration of important concepts, methods, and research findings. Updated and new sidebars provide in-depth coverage of selected topics, making it easier to grasp the scientific concepts presented. Each chapter also includes learning objectives and key points to help students retain the information. In addition to being mindful of students, the authors remained conscious of the needs of instructors.
