An Athletic Trainer’s Guide to Sports Nutrition fills the void of a subject area that is under-represented in current athletic trainer curriculums despite its importance in the field.

Some topics covered inside include:Basics of human nutritionDisordered eating and eating disorders in athletesSupplementsEating optimally for injury recoveryNutrient timingSpecial situationsAn Athletic Trainer’s Guide to Sports Nutrition gives athletic training clinicians and students the information and tools necessary to aid athletes in maintaining peak performance in nutrition, and fills the void left in the current athletic training curriculum.
