Overview

Combining the best of theory and research, Dunford/Doyle's NUTRITION FOR SPORT AND EXERCISE emphasizes scientific reasoning and the latest studies to illuminate the evidence for current nutritional recommendations. The fourth edition carefully illustrates the connections among exercise, nutrition and--the ultimate goals--optimal performance and health. Explaining the rationale behind the recommendations made to athletes, the authors help readers create specific plans for the appropriate amount and type of foods, beverages and/or supplements to support training, performance and recovery. Available with MindTap Nutrition, the platform that gives instructors complete control of their course and powers students from memorization to mastery.

Marie Dunford

Marie Dunford, Ph.D., R.D., has been involved in sports nutrition since the mid-1980's. In 1985, while a faculty member at California State University, Fresno, she created the curriculum for an upper-division course entitled "Nutrition and the Athlete." She taught the course for 16 years, during which time she interacted with thousands of student athletes. This direct exposure to nutrition and exercise science majors and NCAA Division I athletes helped her develop an understanding of how students learn and the sports nutrition topics most difficult for students to master. In addition to Nutrition for Sports and Exercise, Dr. Dunford has written three other books and taught numerous online sports nutrition courses for nutrition and exercise professionals. She is an active member of SCAN—the Sports, Cardiovascular, and Wellness Nutritionists—a dietetic practice group of the American Dietetic Association, and a member of the American College of Sports Medicine. She is an avid recreational tennis player and a struggling student of French.

His research interests include carbohydrate metabolism and exercise and the role of physical activity, exercise, and fitness in health. He has conducted, published, and presented numerous research studies with cyclists, runners, and triathletes, and has extensive experience testing elite athletes from cycling, running, gymnastics, rowing, canoe and kayak, and basketball.
