Preface
Over recent years, in a close and fruitful collaboration, we have put together a
number of books in the area of sports nutrition. During this period we have seen a
burgeoning of interest in the area, namely: increased research, new journals, new
courses at universities, new professional groups and, of course, new publications
such as this one. In this book on energy metabolism and exercise we provide the
reader in-depth exploration of important topics that will be of interest to health and
nutrition professionals of all walks, as well as the well informed and motivated
layman. What is clear from this book and others we have edited is that there must
be a range of diets and exercise regimens that will support excellent physical
condition and performance. There is not a single diet–exercise treatment that can be
the common denominator, and no single formula for health or performance panacea.
Companions to this book are other volumes we edited: Sports Nutrition: Vitamins
and Trace Elements, second edition; Nutritional Ergogenic Aids; Nutritional Assess-
ment of Athletes; Nutritional Applications in Exercise and Sport; Energy-Yielding
Macronutrients and Energy Metabolism in Sports Nutrition; Macroelements, Water,
and Electrolytes in Sports Nutrition. Additionally useful will be the third edition of
Nutrition in Exercise and Sport, edited by Ira Wolinsky, and Sports Nutrition,
authored by Judy Driskell. Enjoy.
