Description
Book SynopsisNow widely adopted on courses throughout the world, the prestigious Nutrition Society Textbook series provides students with the scientific basics in nutrition in the context of a systems and disease approach rather than on a nutrient by nutrient basis.
Trade Review"This is an excellent resource for readers interested in furthering their understanding of sport and exercise nutrition through a combined scientific and practical approach. It is well organized and does a great job of focusing on the key points, allowing readers to decide to what extent they would like to further their knowledge in a particular subdiscipline."
