Publishers Description: In NUTRITION FOR SPORT, Dr Steve Wootton provides a practical guide to the subject. Theoretical principles are outlined but always related to healthy eating, competition and exercise for the amateur as well as the top professional. High carbohydrate diets, fluid intake, weight control, vitamins, minerals and supplements are all evaluated and there is a stimulating question and answer section and an invaluable glossary. One of the outstanding features of the book is the way Dr Wootton explains the theoretical principles underlying diet and performance. He also links this specialist knowledge with 'healthy eating' for living. Dr Wootton explains how food is used by the body and provides advice on eating and diet for exercise. He also stresses the importance of eating for training and the need for a sensible approach to preparation for competition. In so doing, he explodes many of the myths about diet which are prevalent among performers.
