Nutrition for Sport, Exercise, and Performance

Edited by UniSA Program Director for Nutrition and Food Sciences Dr Evangeline Mantzioris (with Adrienne Forsyth from ACU and Regina Belski from La Trobe). Dr Mantzioris is part of the Alliance for Research in Exercise, Nutrition and Activity (ARENA) at UniSA

Nutrition for Sport, Exercise, and Performance offers a clear, practical and accessible guide to building a comprehensive understanding of sport and exercise nutrition from leading experts in nutrition and exercise science. Nutrition before, during and after training or a sporting event can improve the comfort, energy and performance of athletes of all levels, from elite to recreational, as well as providing long-term health benefits. As such, nutrition is a key element of an athlete’s health and performance strategy, whether competing recreationally or at an elite level.

Split into three parts, this new and revised edition of Nutrition for Sport, Exercise, and Performance provides an evidence-based introduction to nutrition for sport, exercise and performance. Part I focuses on nutrition and sport science by explaining key principles underpinning sports nutrition science. This includes energy systems, exercise physiology and metabolism, and the digestion and absorption of macronutrients and micronutrients essential for performance and discusses factors influencing dietary intake, energy availability and the process of dietary assessment. Part II is focused on nutrition for exercise, pre- and post-training, hydration, supplements and body composition measurement and modification. The final part (Part III) focuses on applied sports nutrition for a range of sports and athletes. This second edition delivers new insights into working with female athletes, occupational athletes and athletes in contemporary sports including sport climbing, surfing, skateboarding and breaking.

Featuring contributions from a range of sport and exercise nutrition professionals with practical sports nutrition strategies and the latest evidence and practice guidelines, this is a core reference for undergraduate students, sports professionals and aspiring athletes alike.

The book is available from Routledge (Taylor and Francis Group).

Creating, Sustaining, and Enhancing Purposeful School-University Partnerships: Building Connections Across Diverse Educational Systems

Edited by UniSA Academic Development lecturer Dr Corinne A. Green (with Michelle J. Eady from University of Wollongong); contributing authors include UniSA lecturer Sharron L. Jones and UniSA education student Madeline A. Foran, plus 58 others from around Australia and internationally

Creating, Sustaining, and Enhancing Purposeful School-University Partnerships: Building Connections Across Diverse Educational Systems explores third space school-university partnerships that are connected to initial and ongoing teacher education. It adds to an important literature base with a focus on how these partnerships can be created, sustained and enhanced, why they are important, and who they can benefit. The book has been edited by Dr Corinne A. Green (UniSA Teaching Innovation Unit) and Professor Michelle J. Eady (University of Wollongong), with contributing authors including Sharron L. Jones and Madeline A. Foran (UniSA Education Futures, Whyalla).

Emeritus Professor Kenneth M. Zeichner, author of a seminal work on the third space in teacher education, provides a foreword for this edited book that brings together examples of purposeful school-university partnerships authored by academics and practitioners in Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Sweden, the United States of America, Nepal and Bhutan. This international cohort of contributing authors explores the life cycles and phases of school-university partnerships, the factors that enable and constrain them, and the effects they have on those involved through case studies, narrative vignettes, action research and longitudinal research.

The accounts of purposeful school-university partnerships – their messiness, their struggles and their triumphs – are thoughtful contributions to an expanding body of knowledge delving into the significance and importance of meaningful collaborations that build connections across all aspects of education.

The book is available from Springer.
