Sports Nutrition & Performance Enhancing Supplements

The ISSN Announces the Latest Sports Nutrition Book by Abbie Smith-Ryan PhD and Jose Antonio PhD Deerfield Beach, FL. June 6, 2013 - Which of the following will yield the fastest measurable change in performance and/or body composition? (A) changes in training. (B) changes in diet. (C) use of sports supplements. (D) they all work equally well. If you answered ‘C,’ go to the head of the class. That’s right; the proper use of sports supplements can produce changes in minutes (e.g. caffeine), days (e.g. creatine) and weeks (e.g. beta-alanine). Yet we are bombarded by muddled thinking from the mainstream media telling us that ‘creatine causes cramps,’ ‘high protein diets are bad for your kidneys,’ ‘supplements aren’t needed as long as you eat a balanced diet’ and other ideas that are void of data.
