This review is from: Healing Sports Injuries with Good Nutrition (Keats Sports Nutrition Guides) (Paperback)

As a physical therapist and a specialist in Sports Medicine, I must admit that I did have some background knowledge in the management of athletic injuries before i read this book. But I realized, after skimming threw the pages of this wonderful manual, that I really didn't know that much after all !

As a brief manual that athletic trainers and coaches can carry in their pockets, this well compiled book focuses on several important aspects of sports nutrition.

Ranging from the importance of macronutrients like protiens to the micronutrients like vitamins and minerals, this guide equips medical and paramedical personnel, along with athletes and their families alike on the do's and dont's of sports nutrition in the event of injuries. Now that's something that few athletes stop to ponder !
