Preface
This book is a part of a miniseries within the CRC Series on Nutrition in Exercise and Sport,
a series that publishes 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. This volume focuses on applied topics relevant to sports nutrition
rather than the usual treatment of nutrient-specific metabolism. It presents, in one place, a wealth
of material either not found, or difficult to find, in the open literature. Its first section deals with
life-cycle nutritional concerns of athletes and group-specific nutritional concerns. This is followed
by sections on sport and concludes with discussion of the nutritional knowledge of athletes. Sports
nutritionists, researchers, students, health practitioners, and the educated layman will find this book
useful.
Companions to this book are three other volumes we edited; Sports Nutrition: Vitamins and
Trace Elements, 1997; Macroelements, Water, and Electrolytes in Sports Nutrition, 1999; and
Energy-Yielding Macronutrients and Energy Metabolism in Sports Nutrition, 2000. Additionally
useful will be the two books Nutrition in Exercise and Sport, Third Edition, 1998; and Sports
Nutrition, 2000, edited by Ira Wolinsky and authored by Judy Driskell, respectively.
