About your course materials

Combining the best of theory and research, Dunford/Doyle's NUTRITION FOR SPORT AND EXERCISE emphasizes scientific reasoning and the latest studies to illuminate the evidence for current nutritional recommendations. The fourth edition carefully illustrates the connections among exercise, nutrition and--the ultimate goals--optimal performance and health. Explaining the rationale behind the recommendations made to athletes, the authors help readers create specific plans for the appropriate amount and type of foods, beverages and/or supplements to support training, performance and recovery. Available with MindTap Nutrition, the platform that gives instructors complete control of their course and powers students from memorization to mastery.

Your instructor will tell you how to access your course. You may join through your school’s LMS, a course link or a course key. If you’re unsure which method to use, check with your instructor.

How do I redeem an access code, or what if my code isn't working?

Sign in to your Cengage account and select Enter Access Code or Course Key, then enter your access code and select Register. If your code is damaged, missing or still doesn't work, contact Cengage Support.

Why can't I access my course?

About this product

Combining the best of theory and research, Dunford/Doyle's NUTRITION FOR SPORT AND EXERCISE emphasizes scientific reasoning and the latest studies to illuminate the evidence for current nutritional recommendations. The fourth edition carefully illustrates the connections among exercise, nutrition and--the ultimate goals--optimal performance and health. Explaining the rationale behind the recommendations made to athletes, the authors help readers create specific plans for the appropriate amount and type of foods, beverages and/or supplements to support training, performance and recovery. Available with MindTap Nutrition, the platform that gives instructors complete control of their course and powers students from memorization to mastery.

Learning Objectives help students focus on important issues as they progress through each chapter, while Post-Learning Quizzes at the end of each chapter help them test their knowledge of key concepts.

Comprehensive scientific and practical information about the use of dietary supplements to enhance training and improve performance addresses the legality, ethics, safety and effectiveness of a variety of supplements popular with athletes.

Chapters are packed with special features to keep students engaged with the content. Internet café websites offer sound sports nutrition information. "Keeping it in Perspective" features offer insight into how each topic fits into the big picture. Using examples from real-life athletes, "Spotlight" features provide additional coverage of supplements and other topics. Pre- and Post-Test Quizzes, Self-Test chapter questions, Summaries, References and a Glossary help students maximize their course success.

"Focus on Research" features help students understand research methods and results--and highlight the significance and application of those results.
