Sports nutrition is central to performance, translating heightened energy demands into informed choices about macronutrients, micronutrients and hydration. Sports Nutrition for Athletic Performance and Recovery charts the field from first principles to applied practice. It explains the science of energy systems, muscle metabolism and physiological responses to exercise, then turns to practical guidance on nutrient timing, supplementation and evidence-based approaches to contemporary dietary trends.

Structured for clarity and utility, the book progresses from foundational concepts to sport-specific applications, offering specialised advice on pre- and post-exercise fuelling, strategies to mitigate overtraining and protocols to support injury recovery. Combining rigorous science with actionable strategies, it equips practitioners, coaches, athletes and students to optimise performance and sustain long-term health across disciplines. This book is an essential resource for professionals in sports nutrition and for anyone seeking to understand how targeted nutrition underpins fitness and peak performance.
