Professor Louise Burke is a sports dietician with nearly 30 years of experience in the counselling and education of elite athletes. Since 1990 she has served as the head of sports nutrition at the Australian Institute of Sport and served as the team dietician for the Australian Olympic team for five Summer Olympics from 1996-2012. Burke is also director of the International Olympic Committee diploma in sports nutrition and is part of the Nutrition Working Group of the IOC. Her research and education interests in sports supplements have included work on caffeine and sports performance. Louise has a very modest caffeine habit. She hates coffee and has never tried an energy drink, and her daily caffeine intake consists (to her husband’s annoyance) of half-cups of weak black tea. She is committed to practicing her (also very modest) sporting ability. Towards the end of her annual marathon she consumes caffeinated cola drinks or sports confectionary, which gets her to the finish line with a smile on her face.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and thoroughly researched

    I am about halfway into this book as part of an MSc course and I have found it to be well researched and laid out. The chapter summaries and tips at the end of each section are particularly useful to me.Honestly this title makes sport nutrition more interesting than I expected it to be. Please note that the fonts are slightly smaller than those in the preceding edition (which I borrowed from a friend). If you are in the age group to need reading glasses, you will need them .............. it is however not that big of a deal in the end since the previous edition's font is still small enough to make you put them on.

    this book is a "must" for everyone who wants to start to learn the basic principles of sport nutrition. I do recommend it to students willing to improve their knowledge using the Practical tips sections at the end of each chapter.

    A really very good query tool!
    always supported by the science here is a defensive weapon in the prescription and use of food and nutrition.
