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.Ryan, Monique is the author of 'Performance Nutrition for Team Sports' with ISBN 9780974625447 and ISBN 0974625442.
