Other topics include molecular structure, energy production, recovery after exercise, and the biochemical and physiological processes within the body. Well-respected authors Asker Jeukendrup, PhD, and Michael Gleeson, PhD, are on the cutting edge of sport nutrition. They draw from years of experience researching, publishing, and teaching at the university level and consulting with international sport teams.
