"Exercise plays an important role in athlete\'s performance and exaggerate the performance. It improves with wise nutrition and crumbles with nutritive deficiency. Inadequate water intake has by far the most immediate and serious debilitating effect on performance. An athlete\'s exploits can be not only improved through proper nutritional practice but also harmed through malpractice.

This book has been prepared in such a way that it can meet the needs of two different groups of people: (1) those indulge in the field of sports and physical education and (2) those who are very keen to keep themselves physically fit.

Hopefully the present study will prove very useful for the sportsperson, researchers, prospective coaches, teachers, students of physical education and sports, as well as for the general readers.

It is hoped that this book too will be of great help to the students and physical education teachers and other concerned people interested in studying health, physical education and sports at various levels." (jacket)
