About This Book

Discover the nutritional and physiological age-related changes and needs of athletes aged 35 and above

Athletic activity is becoming increasingly central to the lives of many adults as they age. More and more adults over 35 participate actively in athletics. Additionally, older adults are increasingly encouraged to pursue athletics for reasons of health and wellness. There is a growing need, therefore, for sports nutrition and physiology texts that focus on this population in detail, and not simply as a subset of a field that has been primarily oriented towards younger athletes.

Sports Nutrition for Masters Athletes meets this need with an intensive, evidence-based approach to the nutritional needs of athletes over the age of 35. Alert to the importance of diet in performance and the requirements of older athletes, the book offers a robust toolkit for maintaining athletic performance with age while adjusting for physiologic changes. The result is an essential contribution to a growing field of research and clinical practice.

Sports Nutrition for Masters Athletes readers will also find:

  • An overview of physiological changes associated with the aging process and their impact on performance.
  • Detailed insights into the relationship between nutrition and the mitigation of the inflammatory process.
  • Coverage of subjects including the determination of caloric and nutrient needs, dietary strategies, and many more

Sports Nutrition for Masters Athletes is ideal for those pursuing education in nutrition, exercise science, exercise physiology, health and wellness, and physical education. It will also be of interest to those studying physical aging or work with older adults as clients and patients.
