Los diversos deportes de resistencia son demasiado diferentes para poder ofrecer un plan alimenticio que sirva para todos. Por este motivo, Ryan expone conceptos específicos de nutrición aplicables al atletismo, el ciclismo, el triatlón y la natación, que servirán para mejorar el rendimiento de los deportistas de esas disciplinas. Sus pautas también incluyen observaciones dietéticas para circunstancias especiales, como son la enfermedad celíaca, la diabetes y el embarazo. Una nutrición inteligente puede suponer la diferencia entre lograr una mejor marca personal y afrontar una temporada frustrante. Ya sea usted un deportista aplicado que busca contar con alguna ventaja, o un principiante que tiene dudas básicas sobre hidratación, alimentación y tácticas para el día de la competición, esta exhaustiva guía es un libro de obligada lectura para disfrutar de un rendimiento más saludable, inteligente y rápido. Sean cuales fueren las dudas que usted tiene sobre cómo alimentarse para su deporte, Nutrición deportiva para deportistas de resistencia tiene la respuesta.

El profesor emérito Melvin H. Williams, obtuvo su título en Educación Física en la Universidad de Maryland. Ingresó en la facultad de la Universidad Old Dominion en Norfolk, Virginia, donde creó el Laboratorio de Rendimiento Humano y el Instituto Wellness y el Centro de Investigación dentro del Departamento de Ciencias del Ejercicio, Educación Física y Entrenamiento. Su principal objetivo de investigación ha sido la influencia de la asistencia ergogénica nutricional., farmacológica y fisiológica en el rendimiento físico. Además de escribir cinco ediciones del conocido Nutrición para la Forma Física y el Deporte –actualmente titulado Nutrición para la Salud, la Forma Física y el Deporte. También es el editor fundador de la revista International Journal of Sport Nutrition.
Bananas and plantains are among the most important food and cash crops in the world. They are cultivated in more than 135 countries, across the tropics and subtropics, with an annual global production of ca. 130 million metric tonnes. Though bananas are one of the most important components of food security in many developing countries, banana production is threatened by both abiotic and biotic stresses. These include a wide range of diseases and pests, such as bunchy top virus, burrowing nematodes, black Sigatoka or black leaf streak, Fusarium wilt, etc. In recent years, considerable progress has been made and several biotechnological and genomic tools have been employed to help understand and unravel the mysterious banana genome. Molecular and genomic studies have helped to decipher the Musa genome and its evolution. Genetic linkage map and whole genome sequencing of both Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana (progenitors of cultivated banana) have completely changed the way of thinking and the approach on banana crop improvement. Whole-genome sequencing has helped to improve the selection of quantitative traits such as yield, as well as the selection of optimal parents for developing required hybrids in breeding programs. Gene isolation and the analysis of mutants have helped in the characterization of genes of agronomic value and the associated regulatory sequences. With the advent of molecular markers and new statistical tools, it is now possible to measure the diversity, identify genes and useful alleles linked to important agronomic traits. Further these alleles can be incorporated into cultivars through marker assisted selection or through transgenic approach. Transgenic approaches are potential tools for direct transfer of these genes into popular cultivars, which are generally not amenable for conventional breeding techniques, in specific with crops such as bananas which are sterile, triploid and heterozygous thereby making it difficult to reconstruct the recurrent genotypes in banana. Transgenic techniques thus have helped overcome the difficulty of working with sterile, triploid banana crop. In the last five years, enormous amount of new information and techniques have been generated for banana. A comprehensive book entitled “Banana: Genomics and Transgenic Approaches for Genetic improvement” on banana genomics, latest transgenic technologies and tools available for improved crop development in banana will address all these requirements.
Mejora tu rendimiento deportivo sin descuidar tu salud gracias a una alimentación sana “Si haces deporte, puedes comer lo que quieras”. ¿Cuántas veces has oído esa afirmación? Se trata de uno de los múltiples mitos, medias verdades o rumores que rodean la alimentación del deportista, un mundo que ha sufrido una enorme tecnificación en los últimos años, lo que ha complicado aún más encontrar una dieta que permita mejorar las prestaciones sin que la salud se resienta por ello. En este libro encontrarás alimentos naturales que te permitirán vivir y competir mejor, además de un análisis de la eficacia real de distintos productos para deportistas que pueden encontrarse en el mercado. En muchos casos, la alimentación natural ganará la partida a barritas, suplementos y preparados energéticos. Y es que competir o, simplemente, disfrutar alcanzando nuevos límites no quiere decir nunca dejar de lado una alimentación sana y deliciosa que nos permita cuidar nuestro cuerpo y disfrutar de la comida. Entrenadores y preparadores, dietistas y profesionales sanitarios, deportistas de todos los niveles, ¡es el momento de llevar la alimentación sana a su máximo rendimiento sin descuidar la salud!
Worldwide, soybean seed proteins represent a major source of amino acids for human and animal nutrition. Soybean seeds are an important and economical source of protein in the diet of many developed and developing countries. Soy is a complete protein, and soy-foods are rich in vitamins and minerals. Soybean protein provides all the essential amino acids in the amounts needed for human health. Recent research suggests that soy may also lower risk of prostate, colon and breast cancers as well as osteoporosis and other bone health problems, and alleviate hot flashes associated with menopause. This volume is expected to be useful for student, researchers and public who are interested in soybean.
Provides a complete and up-to-date introduction to the technique, taking account of developments in instrumentation for remote and non-invasive measurements and significant advances in calibration and mathematics. The clear explanation of practical and theoretical aspects of the techniques and mathematical treatments available will be essential reading for those working in the food industry and for anyone approaching NIR for the first time.
This comprehensive new soybean reference book disseminates key soybean information to "drive success for soybeans via 23 concise chapters covering all aspects of soybeans--from genetics, breeding and quality to post-harvest management, marketing and utilization (food and energy applications), U.S. domestic versus foreign practices and production methods. - The most complete and authoritative book on soybeans - Features internationally recognized authors in the 21-chapter book - Offers sufficient depth to meet the needs of experts in the subject matter, as well as individuals with basic knowledge of the topic
This book explains in a clear and simple way what life is and how it flows within our cells, between people and through people. It is a practical manual that will help us to "feel" life, to vibrate and breathe the life inside of our bodies and of all living beings. A key focus of this work is how emotional impact affects our pericardium, which is the membrane that envelops, maintains and protects the heart.
