CRC NUTRL ASSESS ATH PDF

Preface

This volume is part of a miniseries within the CRC Series on Nutrition and Sport, which comprises comprehensive books on subjects of timely interest for sports nutritionists of all walks in the expanding field of sports nutrition, written by competent editors and authors who are well known in their fields. The series includes monographs, edited volumes, and textbooks. This volume focuses on assessment of athletes, with an emphasis on nutrition. The first section, dealing with dietary assessment, is followed by sections on anthropometric, physical activity needs, biochemical and clinical. We have been gratified at the response to our books — it is difficult to find such a trove of information on the subject in one place. Sports nutritionists, sports medicine and fitness professionals, researchers, students, health practitioners and the educated layman will find this book timely and useful.

Companions to this book are four other volumes in this miniseries: Sports Nutrition: Vitamins and Trace Elements; Macroelements, Water and Electrolytes in Sports Nutrition; Energy-Yielding Macronutrients and Energy Metabolism in Sports Nutrition; and Nutritional Applications in Exercise and Sport. Additionally useful will be Nutrition in Exercise and Sport, Third Edition, edited by Ira Wolinsky, and Sports Nutrition, authored by Judy Driskell.
