Sport Nutrition: An Introduction to Energy Production and Performance presents in-depth discussion of the science behind sport nutrition, including general principles, background, and rationale for current nutritional guidelines. Students will gain a solid understanding of the principles of nutrition as they relate specifically to sport. Students will also learn how to distinguish between fact and fallacy in the confusing world of sport nutrition and supplements.
The logical organization of the book helps instructors deliver a comprehensive introductory course in nutrition as well as reinforce comprehension, retention, and application for all students—including those without a science background. The following are some of the student-friendly features: 
 -More than 200 tables and illustrations that demonstrate important concepts and research findings, making the text easy to understand at the introductory level
-Summary appendix that explains the fundamental concepts of biochemistry, biology, chemistry, and physiology
-Extensive glossary of terms and commonly used abbreviations
-Numerous standard textbook elements, including learning objectives, key points, and key terms A full chapter is devoted to how food is digested and absorbed, as well as how exercise influences the digestive process. Other topics include molecular structure, energy production, recovery after exercise, and the biochemical and physiological processes within the body.
Well-respected authors Asker Jeukendrup, PhD, and Michael Gleeson, PhD, are on the cutting edge of sport nutrition. They draw from years of experience researching, publishing, and teaching at the university level and consulting with international sport teams. Sport Nutrition: An Introduction to Energy Production and Performance will help students learn the underlying principles of sport nutrition and its effect on performance.

The new edition of Sport Nutrition: An Introduction to Energy Production and Performance presents the principles, background, and rationale for current nutrition guidelines specifically for athletes. Using a physiological basis, this text provides an in-depth look at the science behind sport nutrition. Students will come away with a comprehensive understanding of nutrition as it relates to sport and the influence of nutrition on exercise performance, training, and recovery. The chapters and the material within each chapter are sequenced in a logical order that will help instructors deliver a better course and spend less time in preparing lectures and tutorials. Instructors will also enjoy the completely new ancillaries with this edition, including an online instructor guide, test package, PowerPoint presentation package, and image bank. This text contains updated and expanded information to keep students current on the latest findings in sport nutrition: • A new chapter on training adaptations, including effects of nutrition on overtraining • New information on weight management and body composition for athletes • New research on carbohydrate and new recommendations for carbohydrate intake during training • An expanded discussion on the role of protein in strength and endurance exercise training • The latest information on exercise, nutrition, and immune function The new content complements the strong foundational information that the authors provided in the previous edition, including fuel sources for muscle and exercise metabolism, energy requirements for various sports, and a complete grounding in the macronutrients (carbohydrate, fat, and protein) and the micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). With more than 200 illustrations, new highlight boxes, and tables and sidebars throughout the text, students will be able to more easily grasp the scientific concepts presented in this text. Each chapter also includes learning objectives, key terms, and key points to help readers retain the information. The text presents not only nutrition principles but also the exercise biochemistry involved and the energy needs of athletes. Readers will better understand how supplements may be used in an athlete’s diet, and they will learn how to separate fact from fallacy regarding the claims of the numerous nutritional supplements available today. More than a simple prescription of recommendations, this second edition of Sport Nutrition features a unique presentation that facilitates readers’ understanding of the science supporting the nutrition recommendations. As a result, students will be prepared for advanced study and future careers, and professionals will gain the knowledge and confidence to provide sound advice to athletes.

Students will come away with an understanding of nutrition as it relates to sport and the influence of nutrition on performance, training, and recovery. 
 This text is organized with the student in mind, with content sequenced in a logical order that puts building blocks in place to facilitate greater comprehension as more advanced topics are introduced. The book moves from general principles of nutrition and nutrient requirements to estimating and fulfilling energy needs with the appropriate combinations of macronutrients and micronutrients. Supplements are addressed from a scientific standpoint, followed by the influence of nutrition on training adaptations, immune function, body composition, weight management, and eating disorders. The new chapter on personalized nutrition covers periodized nutrition, gender differences, and special populations (young athletes, older athletes, and diabetic athletes) and offers practical examples from specific sports. 
 This third edition contains revised and expanded information to keep students current on the latest findings in sport nutrition: 
 • Updated nutrition guidelines 
 • A new chapter on personalized nutrition that helps readers move from theory into practice as they better understand how to customize nutrition based on an individual’s unique background and needs 
 • 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. With years of experience in teaching sport nutrition, the authors constructed chapters in a natural progression, making class lectures easier to prepare and deliver.
