Nutrition for Health, Fitness & Sport

I rented a copy of this book for a masters level course on sports physiology that I was taking recently. The book was fairly comprehensive, was laid out in a logical format, and was easy to understand. Although human biology is a complicated process, and the physicist in me is not a big fan of the less definitive nature of the biological sciences, I'll say that this book does take care not to draw many spurious conclusions, sticks mostly to well researched conclusions and admits uncertainty when it exists. There are very few questions that I had about nutrition or the way our body interacts with nutrients that were left unanswered or unaddressed. The kindle method of delivery I chose is probably the best I can imagine for a text book, since it allows you to easily search for that particular phrase you wanted to cite. Whether this is for a course that you are taking, or if you simply want to learn about human physiology and nutrition, this is a great resource!If you're getting it as textbook resource for a course, and you are allowed digital devices in class, do yourself a favor and get the kindle version. It makes life so much easier!

I used this book for a class but ended up buying it. It is very easy to read and is wonderfully organized. I usually rent my textbooks but I bought this one. I reference it while planning my workouts and diet routine. It references many of the current diet and fitness supplements and techniques and explains how and why they work, or not.

Full, comprehensive text for the student of Nutrition in relation to Sports Performance. Clear diagrams and highlight boxes.

very goooooood boooook in excellent condidtion brand new. I thought it was going to be used because I just rented it but no it was new so that was just perfect!

Bought this as a text book for my son.

This textbook was used for my Sports Nutrition class. It is set up pretty well and had lots of info. I rented it from Amazon, the condition was not perfect and and highlights in it, but that was ok, and the book was still in a good condition. This would be a perfect book for students taking sports nutrition or for anyone who wants good sound information regarding the topic.

Renting the textbook was a good decision and I would recommend it to anyone. Books delivered on time and it was easy to return them as well.

I have used this textbook since its 1st Edition and it just gets better and better. Covers meat-based diets and plant-based diets, and provides plenty of excellent research studies.
