Frequently asked questions

How do I enroll in or join my course?

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?

How you access your course depends on how your instructor set it up. Start from your LMS, course link or course key. If you've purchased access but still can't open the course, Cengage Help can help you troubleshoot your access.

Where can I find my eBook or textbook?

You can access available eBooks from your Cengage student dashboard or from your Cengage course. If your class uses an LMS, your instructor may also provide access there.

What if I don't have access to my course materials yet?

About this product

Dunford/Doyle's NUTRITION FOR SPORT AND EXERCISE, 5th Edition combines the best of theory and research-- emphasizing scientific reasoning and the latest studies around current nutritional recommendations.

NUTRITION FOR SPORT AND EXERCISE 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 selecting the appropriate amount and type of foods, beverages and/or supplements to support training, performance and recovery.

This text is available with MindTap, the platform that gives instructors a wealth of resources and content to help propel students from memorization to mastery.

Application exercises give students a brief “real world” scenario followed by questions that prompt them to put what they learn into practice.

Section-ending key points and review questions help students identify and test their mastery of important information.

Chapter-opening Learning Objectives help students focus on important issues as they progress through each chapter, while chapter-ending Post-Learning Quizzes allow them to test their knowledge of key concepts.

Special features in every chapter keep students engaged: "internet café" websites offer sports nutrition information; "Keeping it in Perspective" features offer insight into how each topic fits into the big picture; "Spotlight" features use examples from real-life athletes and provide additional coverage of supplements and other topics; and in-text learning aids include Pre- and Post-Test Quizzes, Self-Test chapter questions, Summaries, References, and a Glossary to help students maximize their course success.
