Nutritional Assessment of Athletes (B5)

Evaluating dietary intake, determining energy metabolism, and conducting other nutritional assessments are essential in understanding the relationships between diet, exercise, health, and physical performance. Several methods exist, each with their own advantages and limitations. In one comprehensive, fully referenced source, Nutritional Assessment of Athletes examines these methods, presenting tables and figures with normal values in order to compare data. Professionals will be able to conduct essentially all nutritional assessments without referring to additional sources. This book will aid in a better understanding of the relationship not only between diet and health, but also between diet and physical status of athletes.
