Team sport athletes need to follow sound sports nutrition principles to optimize their body composition, recover daily after training, and consume the optimal fuel prior to training and competition. These athletes also have unique nutritional needs based on the type of training sessions specific to their sport. This guide, aimed at experienced athletes along with those of high school and college age, addresses those needs in three sections. Section one provides an overview of nutrition guidelines for good health and optimal exercise, training, and competition, including clear guidelines for choosing foods. Section two shows readers how to tailor nutrition to particular sports and performance goals. This section explains how to develop muscle and power, maintain a healthy level of body fat, and eat for endurance. Section three covers detailed nutrition guidelines specific to each sport with respect to training and competition.

Monique Ryan distills nearly two decades of experience counseling athletes on their nutritional needs into this comprehensive yet accessible book. She discusses both general principles -- useful for endurance athletes in any sport -- as well as specific guidelines for those involved in triathlons, cycling, mountain biking, swimming, distance running, and more. The book's three sections cover the basics of building a healthy diet, training nutrition, and sports-specific nutrition.

Sports Nutrition for Endurance Athletes

Training

Endurance athletes regularly push their bodies to the limits with strenuous training regimens that demand smart nutrition. This book provides sound nutritional guidelines to boost athletic performance in triathlon, cycling, swimming, distance running, cross-country skiing, mountain biking, cyclo-cross, and adventure racing. First, Monique Ryan creates an excellent all-purpose sports diet. Based on the building blocks of a balanced diet — carbohydrates, proteins, fats, as well as fluid, vitamin, and mineral requirements — the diet forms the foundation of the endurance athlete's good health. Individual chapters then offer detailed nutritional advice for athletes training and competing in specific sports. Ryan offers healthy approaches to losing body fat and building muscle and clearly explains the different nutritional needs of training, racing, and recovery. Also included in this practical, easy-to-use guide are tips on meal planning, shopping lists, sample menus, advice for vegetarians, and a review of popular ergogenic aids.

Sports Nutrition for Endurance Athletes makes high-performance nutrition simple for running, cycling, triathlon, and swimming. Weighing in at 432 pages, this newly updated third edition is the most comprehensive resource on nutrition from the most experienced and highly qualified nutritionist in endurance sports.
Ryan offers clear answers to the most fundamental questions in endurance sports nutrition--what should I eat, how much, and when--based on the latest research and experience from her 30-year career advising elite and age-group athletes and pro sports teams. She offers fine-tuning strategies for training and racing, optimal recovery, weight loss, and boosting strength-to-weight ratio. Citing rigorous and reputable studies, Ryan busts myths about ergogenic aids and supplements and offers a dose of reality to practices like fat loading and glycogen-depleted workouts.

Even within each sport, optimal nutrition varies with the type and duration of events, so Ryan explains nutrition for short- and long-course triathlon; road, criterium, and mountain bike racing; 10K, half-marathon, and marathon; and sprint and distance swimming.
This complete guide addresses a wide variety of special nutrition considerations for younger and older athletes, diabetics, vegetarians, pregnant women, and those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.

Smart nutrition can make the difference between a personal record and a lackluster season.
