Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is the first of two volumes recording the proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Nutrition and Fitness, Athens, May 23-25, 1992, and the declaration of Olympia on nutrition and fitness developed at Ancient Olympia, May 26-27, 1992. The companion volume is "World Review of Nutrition and Dietetics, Vol. 72". This volume contains the most up-to-date information on the energy needs and protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism in the elite athlete and in special populations of athletes such as ballet dancers, gymnasts, competitive wrestlers and jockeys. It provides new concepts such as the Body Profile Analysis System (BPAS) to estimate ideal body size and shape; new standard predictive equations for resting energy expenditure in elite athletes, and an extensive first-ever review of the effects of exercise on mood. The 46 poster abstracts in the appendix give a good insight into the research activities currently being pursued internationally in nutrition and fitness. The volume makes it clear that diet, physical activity and genetics need to be considered together by all those interested in public health as well as the health of the individual.
These books are essential reading for physicians and scientists interested in the role of nutrition and fitness in health and performance, including nutritionists, exercise physiologists, geneticists, dietitians, educators and policy makers.
