Sports Nutrition for Paralympic Athletes

Participation rates in Paralympic sports have increased rapidly in recent years, and continue to grow. Despite the amount of information on dietary requirements of athletes, little attention has been given to athletes with an impairment. This book presents information to rehabilitate, enable, and improve athletes' quality of life. Chapters cover impairments including spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, amputees, les autres, and vision and intellectual impairments.
