Ausdauersport und Ernährung

If you want to achieve the best possible performance as an endurance athlete, you should not only attach importance to regular training and a clean technique, but also optimize your diet. This includes ensuring that he or she is supplied with carbohydrates, fats and proteins in line with his or her requirements, takes in appropriate amounts of vitamins and minerals, and supplies his or her organism with suitable fluids as early as possible. This applies regardless of the level and intensity of the activity.

This book describes in detail how the selection of food and beverages and the composition of meals should be arranged and which principles should be observed in the preparation and consumption of food and beverages in order to prepare the body ideally for the respective activities. In addition, the reader will learn how an athlete can best eat during sports practice and afterwards. Vegetarian diets, food intolerances and nutrition in extreme situations are some of the other topics covered in the guide. The theoretical explanations are supplemented by numerous field reports, practical tips and recipe suggestions. These not only facilitate implementation, but also provide additional motivation to make adjustments to the diet.
