Online, December 27, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Dan Benardot, author and world-renowned sports nutritionist has just released the eBook version of Advanced Sports Nutrition-2nd Edition.

"For the first time in any book, this edition focuses on the importance of targeting optimal energy and nutrient distribution hourly rather than viewing optimal nutrient intakes in daily totals. Appropriate distribution of energy nutrients is associated with better body composition and weight, and improved central-nervous system function, all of which are associated with improved athletic performance" explains Dr. Benardot. Included are many more food plans for athletes in different sports disciplines, and a new chapter on how to deal with the GI distress that is common to many athletic endeavors.

The 1st edition of Advanced Sports Nutrition, which led the sports nutrition world for the last 6 years, was translated into many languages and sold worldwide. The 2nd edition, because of its novel concepts in energy balance, is expected to be even more successful and have a greater impact.

He breaks down the chemistry of improved performance into winning principles that ensure that athlete's key energy systems are properly stocked at all times.

The eBook version can be found on the Human Kinetics official website (www.humankinetics.com). The hardcopy version, set to be
released on December 29th 2011, will be available at all major bookstores and web-based book sellers (including Amazon.com).
