Críticas

"...The Endurance Paradox is well-researched and provides a wealth of valuable training and dietary information on an important topic which has long been overlooked and misunderstood by the endurance sports market. I highly recommend it to athletes and coaches."...- Joe Friel, Head Coach, Training Bible Coaching, and co-author, Paleo Diet for Athletes "The Endurance Paradox offers insight on training technique and theory, presents current nutrition concepts, and discusses the impact of hormones and strength training, thereby providing a big picture approach to the art of endurance training. Many sport nutrition books that address bone health seem to focus primarily on the female athlete, yet Whipple and Eckhardt bring both genders into the dicussion and draw attention to some key hormonal and dietary considerations aimed at helping both male and female athletes maximize bone health. This book serves as a great overview for athletes and practitioners as it deals with principles that can be applied to athletes of all abilities. The topics represent essential considerations for balancing the potentially tenuous relationship between endurance exercise and bone health."--Kristine Spence, SCAN's PULSE "...Many endurance athletes perform strength-training that causes harm to their bodies, impairing their overall goals of better performance. This notably includes the full spectrum of bone loss leading to common injuries. The Endurance Paradox will help you positively address this common problem. Authors Thomas J. Whipple and Robert B. Eckhardt clear up many misconceptions about bone and muscle health and fitness, and in an easy-to-apply, holistic way, discussing simple, short, and effective workout plans you can perform at home. Just as important, they discuss how diet, nutrition, hormone balance, and other lifestyle factors influence bone health. The Endurance Paradox is also a must for all coaches and healthcare professionals who work with endurance athletes. This is truly an intelligent approach to a subject all endurance athletes should read. The notion of weight lifting to improve bone strength without inducing muscle fatigue and stress is natural, safe, and complimentary. And, it fits well into an overall endurance program."...--Dr. Philip Maffetone, author, The Big Book of Endurance Training and Racing "...I am very surprised and impressed by this book because the authors have seen through the fog of the plethora of research in this field and have made sensible, logical and clear recommendations. The book is well researched and offers excellent practical advice."...- Dr. Graham Fletcher, PhD, Sport Scientist, The Univeristy of Fraser Valley, Former British Triathlon National Team Coach

Reseña del editor

The endurance athlete faces a paradox―you’re going farther and faster, you’re feeling stronger, but your bones are getting weaker. New, compelling evidence shows that the very activities that expand our mental and physical abilities may be reducing the durability of our skeletons. In this book, Thomas Whipple, a leading orthopaedic clinical specialist, and Robert Eckhardt, a scientist specializing in the musculoskeletal system, team up to explain how athletes at any level can maintain the delicate balance between endurance exercise and optimum bone health over a lifetime. Translating important scientific advances into accessible language, they explain the muscle-bone connection, and cover training strategies and exercises, nutrition, calcium, stress fractures, rehabilitation, running mechanics, footwear, posture, and pharmaceuticals. An essential guide and ideal text for exercise physiologists, endurance athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and coaches.
