   Świetnie opracowany przewodnik po odpowiednim odżywianiu przy uprawianiu sportów wszelakich. Przy bieganiu bardzo mi pomogła, bo od zawsze mam problem z odpowiednimi posiłkami po-treningowymi. Tutaj dobrze jest to opracowane. Aż szkoda, że takich rzeczy nie omawia się na lekcjach biologii zamiast rozwoju pantofelka ;-) Trochę zabrakło mi konkretnych przykładów przekąsek i posiłków - niby są, ale mocno podstawowe, więc pewnie będę musiała poszperać w necie.

   Really enjoyed this book for my course. It was informative in a way that took some knowledge I already knew and gave me reasons and justifications. It was simple to follow for anyone interested in sports nutrition. It's not a book for just the athlete, but for anyone that does some form of activity, whether that be once or twice a week at the gym or an occasional runner. I especially liked the calculations and formulas it provided to calculate your calories needed as well as how much of those wo Really enjoyed this book for my course.

It really puts a great perspective on things.

   This was required reading for a sports nutrition course, and i completed disagreed with the author's dietary recommendations. She recommends an extreme amount of carbs and the specific meals she suggests are in no way nutritious.

   The meal plans themselves could use some work. Too much dairy pushing, and I truly don’t think athletes should be relying on dairy as much as this author recommends. Also not a fan of how much soy is recommended for vegetarian Athletes. But overall, the sports nutrition information in this text is on point with the latest research in this field and aligns with what I practice myself and what I recommend to my clients. I just suggest better food choices.

   Actionable advice although her take on meal plan and nutrition options are a bit old-fashioned.

   Lots of repetition so could have been much shorter. Some useful content once you got through the more than required level of detail regarding various studies.

   According to the research done at the University of Uttar Pradesh I should be able to slash 15% off my 5K time just by eating stuff recommended in this book. Let's see.

   Extremely helpful and easy to understand. I loved the sample menu options with different variations and amount of calories.

    A comprehensive and scientific textbook on energy nutrition, expenditure and ways to optimize for endurance training. Also comes with a glossary of food with low GI and recipes for minority athlete groups such as the vegetarian, young, older, female athlete.

    This book is thorough and full of useful information. It has complete information for many types of athletes and special groups. There is some information that sources industry sponsored research (such as chocolate milk being the perfect recovery food) but so long as you're aware and check sources it's not problematic.

    Solid, informative and interesting. The parts about designing one's special performance diet made my eyes glaze over, though. I enjoyed the more general parts much more, though the phrase "thermic effect of feeding" makes me giggle in no matter what context I encounter it. Recommended for people who are serious about training, nutrition or both. Solid, informative and interesting. The parts about designing one's special performance diet made my eyes glaze over, though.

    A good book telling what is the best way to eat for an athletic person. I like the book because not only does it tell you the guidelines to how, what, when to eat to maximize performance but it also tells you the scientific reasoning for doing so.
