Customer Reviews

Comprehensive and thoroughly researched

I am about halfway into this book as part of an MSc course and I have found it to be well researched and laid out. The chapter summaries and tips at the end of each section are particularly useful to me.Honestly this title makes sport nutrition more interesting than I expected it to be. Please note that the fonts are slightly smaller than those in the preceding edition (which I borrowed from a friend). If you are in the age group to need reading glasses, you will need them .............. it is however not that big of a deal in the end since the previous edition's font is still small enough to make you put them on.

Worth the price just for the chapter on supplements

This is a great book for people who want to work with athletes or coaches. It provides a thoroughly referenced summary on the principles of various topics in sports nutrition, followed by "practice tips" written by top sports dietitians. It really helps to know how to put the information into use.
