Applied Nutrition for Mixed Sports
About this book
Applied Nutrition for Mixed Sports examines the topic of nutrition for what are referred to as mixed sports. This includes almost all team sports along with many individual sports such as boxing, mixed martial arts and some track and field events.Basically any sport that has requirements for both endurance and strength/power is considered a mixed sport. Because of the often odd nature of performance requirements, optimizing nutrition for these sports often presents problems that aren’t seen in either the pure strength/power or pure endurance sports.The book, as well as the accompanying 2 DVD set, approaches the problem in an applied fashion building up the topic of nutrition from the ground up to present a comprehensive examination of how mixed sports athletes can optimize their nutrition.This product started life as a seminar I did in Vancouver at Simon Fraser University in 2009 for their football and soccer teams on applied sports nutrition. But rather than just slap the DVD together with the handouts and slides, I decided to write a complete stand alone book (derived primarily from the handouts). Of course, the original DVD seminar is included along with the Powerpoint slides and the full package includes everything shown below.Please note: The DVDs have no regional encoding and should play on any DVD player or computer with DVD capabilities.Book Table of Contents:IntroductionChapter 1: Some Unapplied TheoryChapter 2: General and Performance NutritionChapter 3: Energy IntakeChapter 4: Dietary ProteinChapter 5: Dietary FatChapter 6: Dietary CarbohydratesChapter 7: Vitamins and MineralsChapter 8: Meal PlanningChapter 9: Around Workout/Competition NutritionChapter 10: Hydration and CrampingChapter 11: SupplementsChapter 12: Changing Body CompositionChapter 13: Putting it All TogetherChapter 14: The End.DVD Table of Contents:Disk 1Module 1: Introduction + A Little Unapplied Theory (12:41)Module 2: General and Performance Nutrition (35:32)Module 3: Meal Planning (14:19)Module 4: Around Workout Nutrition (32:13)Disk 2Module 5: Hydration and Cramping (15:43)Module 6: Supplements (39:23)Module 7: Changing Body Composition (18:22)Module 8: Putting it All Together (11:03)
