Description
The Endurance Paradox: Bone Health for the Endurance Athlete As endurance athletes push their bodies to new limits, they may be unknowingly putting their bones at risk. New research reveals that the very activities that improve mental and physical performance can also weaken skeletons over time. This book provides a comprehensive guide to maintaining the delicate balance between endurance exercise and optimum bone health. Written by two experts in the field, this book explains the muscle-bone connection and offers practical advice on training strategies, nutrition, calcium intake, stress fractures, rehabilitation, running mechanics, footwear, posture, and pharmaceuticals. With clear and accessible language, it covers essential topics for athletes at any level, from exercise physiologists to fitness enthusiasts and coaches. This guide is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to optimize their bone health while pursuing endurance activities.
