Use the most sophisticated sports nutrition information to help your clients reach their athletic performance goals. In Advanced Sports Nutrition, Third Edition, world-renowned sports nutritionist Dr. Dan Benardot combines research, strategies, and sports nutrition information with his experience in academia and work with elite athletes to help you learn the following:
  • The implications of relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S) and the importance of within-day energy balance to maintain crucial energy balance throughout training and competition
  • Optimal ratios and quantities of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals for achieving maximum power, strength, and performance
  • How to avoid gastrointestinal distress during activity
  • The most popular supplements and their effects on athletic performance
  • Strategies for balancing fluid and electrolytes to avoid dehydration and hyperhydration
  • How to combat the effects of travel, such as jet lag, new foods, sleep disruption, and high altitude
  • Weight-loss and body-composition issues to apply appropriate strategies to achieve optimal strength-to-weight ratios
  • Sport-specific guidelines for power sports, endurance sports, and those that require both power and endurance
Curious about pregame nutrition, hydration, high-carb snacks, or macronutrient intake? You’ll find 13 practical nutrition guides in the appendix, designed as quick reference sheets to help you understand how good nutrition principles can be incorporated into athlete nutrition plans.

After reading the ebook, certified professionals can take the companion CE exam to earn continuing education credits.

Great text for nutrition. The only negative is there is no study guide. Maybe this is what makes the book and online exam cheaper. Thank you!
