Athletes, coaches, fitness trainers, and the general public are continually striving to achieve a higher level of fitness. As we plan our training and give thought to our nutritional habits, we have a variety of questions.
We look for information that is concise and comprehendible to assist us in achieving our goals. Lilah Al-Masri and Simon Bartlett, who have devoted their lives to the pursuit of excellence in fitness, created 100 Questions & Answers About Sports Nutrition and Exercise for this purpose.
This book provides an excellent source of knowledge, covering an array of exercise and nutritional information for everyone to use in his or her quest to become healthier and more physically fit.
Our goal in this book is to present scientifically based, usable, and concrete concepts that provide recreational and elite athletes of all ages with information that will allow them to excel in their respective sports. In addition, this book is designed to debunk the many myths, superstitions, and misinformation that saturate the fields of sports nutrition and exercise. The information in this book is a supplement and is not a replacement for an individual nutrition and exercise program that is designed by a sports dietitian and an exercise physiologist, respectively.
The questions and answers in this book were inspired by the most frequent concerns that we have encountered from athletes throughout the years. All of the case studies in this book are based on actual situations and events; therefore, the reader can be confident that the recommendations provide real world solutions that work when implemented correctly. Our intentions are to take out the guesswork and replace it with simple and easy-to-use strategies.
We acknowledge all of the athletes who we have had the privilege of encountering over the years. If it were not for their curiosity, we would never have been inspired to write this invaluable book.
