Chapter 8. High Altitude The lower oxygen level at high altitude has a negative impact on athletic performance in an athlete who has not adapted to the altitude.

Staying at a high altitude for a period of time may create an adaptation that improves oxygen-carrying capacity and endurance. This chapter reviews the nutritional strategies to follow for enhancing adaptation in high-altitude environments.

Chapter 9. Gender and Age The nutritional requirements of athletes vary widely based on age and gender, and these differences must be taken into consideration to optimize health and athletic performance.

This chapter reviews the common risks faced by athletes of different ages and genders, and examines how sports that emphasize appearance may be associated with nutritional risks that have a negative impact on performance and athlete longevity.
