Throughout the life cycle, females undergo morphological and functional changes that are different from those occurring in males. Some of these merit specific analysis regarding their relationship to exercise and nutrition. In recent years, there has been a surge of public and scientific interest in the female athlete and in the role exercise plays in the health of females. No publication, however, has attempted to encompass the whole life cycle. This volume is an indispensible resource for exercise physiologists and others concerned with exercise and the female athlete.

-Volume 11: Exercise, Nutrition, and Weight Control

Editors:
David R. Lamb, Ph.D., The Ohio State University
Robert Murray, Ph.D., The Gatorade Company

If there is a single contemporary theme for a book in the field of exercise science and sports medicine that is of interest to most scientists and physicians, men and women, athletes and nonathletes, young and old, it surely is the theme of this volume. Obesity is a major risk factor for degenerative diseases, and a cultural emphasis on leanness for both health and cosmetic reasons causes us to spend billions of dollars annually in oftenmisguided attempts to reduce body fat. For some, these attempts at fat reduction develop into bulimia, anorexia, and other eating disorders that can be devastating to the afflicted individuals. For many athletes, especially those who compete in endurance events or in events such as gymnastics or ballet in which most judges place a high priority on leanness, control of body fat is absolutely critical to success.
