To practice sports, you need energy. Energy comes from what you eat and drink. Training schemes are very important, but your food plays a crucial role in whether you're successful or not. It is particularly important for athletes to consume the right nutrients at the right time. This will allow them to get the most from their training and ensure that their body recovers properly after exercising. This book is a gold mine of information for professional as well as recreational athletes. The first part is a description of what food does to your body and why athletes need specific types of nutrients. In the second part, you're told exactly what to eat on rest days, low-intensity and intensive training days, days of strength training, and competition days. For every one of these days, sports dietician Stephanie Scheirlynck, who coaches various professional and recreational athletes, has brought together some simple and delicious recipes that will optimise your sports performances. Sports personalities included in the book: Alberto Contador (cycling), Liz Blatchforth (thriathlon), Lizzie Armitstead (cycling), Eliud Kipchoge (marathon), Kris Van Crombrugge (sports doctor of the Belgian Red Devils), Marcel Kittel (cycling).
