Nutrition for Sport, Exercise, and Health, Second Edition With HKPropel Access, blends applied content with updated research-based guidelines to help students distinguish between nutrition recommendations backed by science and the plethora of misinformation available. Covering all the basics of nutrition, students will walk away with a clear understanding of how nutrition affects sport, exercise, and overall health.

Organized to facilitate knowledge retention, the text logically progresses, with each chapter building upon the information previously presented. Students first get an overview of the role nutrition plays in overall well-being throughout a person's life. They will learn the functions of carbohydrates, fat, and protein as well as the role each of these macronutrients plays in health and disease. And they will learn the dietary recommendations that support health and an active lifestyle. Next, the function of micronutrients in health and performance is covered. The text concludes with the application of nutrition principles, with guidance to properly fuel for sport, exercise, and health.

Updated based on Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020-2025, the second edition incorporates new content on the following:

  • The effect of ketogenic diets on health and muscle
  • Vitamin D and its role in performance and inflammation
  • The effect of progressive training programs on metabolism
  • Sample nutrition plans, including a daily fluid plan, a plan to meet mineral needs, a food plan for resistance training, and more
  • Omega-3 supplementation to support concussion prevention and recovery
  • The latest research on why people regain weight after weight loss
To assist students using the text, the second edition of Nutrition for Sport, Exercise, and Health has related online learning tools delivered through HKPropel to help students understand and apply concepts and research findings. These learning tools include flash cards to review key terms presented in the book and supplemental chapter activities to assess student learning and facilitate critical thinking. The chapter activities may be assigned and tracked by instructors through HKPropel, and chapter quizzes that are automatically graded can be used to test comprehension of critical concepts.

Pedagogical aids within the text also enhance student understanding; these include chapter objectives, key terms, and review questions. Numerous sidebars provide key insights, real-world tips, relatable scenarios, and easy takeaways.

Students and professionals alike will benefit from the broad coverage found in Nutrition for Sport, Exercise, and Health. They will have the science-based knowledge and tools they need to improve athletic performance, exercise outcomes, and general well-being.
