Peak: The New Science of Athletic Performance That is Revolutionizing Sports

Great book based on science.

me lo recomendo una doctora y cada cierto tiempo lo reeleo, bastante actual. deporte descanso y nutricion en un libro de corte cientifico

While I'm not a professional athlete, I am a fairly serious recreational athlete just over 30 years old. Year over year I'm increasing my fitness load from cycling, running, lifting weights, snowboarding, hiking, and rock climbing and the marginal benefit that dialing in my diet, sleep, and recovery patterns is increasingly important. I've also done everything from put on 30lbs by eating 4,500+ kcal/day to dropping all of that again over a 9 month period. In short, a lot of this information is applicable to me and I have attempted to utilize it before.At the same time, if you read enough fitness stuff in books or online it does feel like all of the info can blur together and sometimes contradict itself. This is where I think this book is the strongest. Without outright saying it, the author applies a sort of Pareto Principle to the information by giving you the science but then telling you where to actually focus your efforts (for example, listing the top three supplements or being honest about the limits that adaptive thermogenesis places on cratering a macro in order to lean out). I bought this book as a kindle edition and I'm already considering buying a paper copy because there are at least 10 areas in the first 25% of this book that I intend to apply to my training. Great great book if you are starting to take your training seriously.

I first borrowed this book from my local library last year. It was so helpful that I read every page with a notebook at my side. I applied much of the content to my own athletic goals and saw a great improvement in my performance. I had to buy it to use as a reference for any future questions or problems I encounter.I highly recommend it!

Das Buch ist super gut! Ich habe mir vor dem Kauf viele negative Rezensionen durchgelesen, um zu schauen, was negativ an dem Buch sein könnte. Ich habe mir das Bich dann trotzdem gekauft und war aufgrund der Rezensionen vorrangig skeptisch, doch Dr. Marc Bubbs hat mich komplett abgeholt! Jede einzelne Studie, die erwähnt wird ist am Ende verlinkt! Für jeden, der sich für wissenschaftlich fundiertes im Soort interessiert, ist dieses Buch ein Must have! Das einzige, was ich schade finde ist, dass das Buch irgendwann zu Ende war! Vielen Dank Mr. Bubbs!

Everyone who care about their health should read this book. It encompasses far more than training and running.
