Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! DescriptionROAR, Revised Edition by Selene Yeager and Dr Stacy Sims is an innovative and transformative guide that has revolutionised exercise nutrition and performance for female athletes. This freshly updated edition is a comprehensive resource that candidly addresses the critical differences in training and nutrition strategies needed for women to optimise their athletic potential and general health.
One of the book’s core messages is unequivocal: women are not small men. This principle drives the authors’ approach, urging women to stop following nutrition and exercise plans designed for male physiology. Instead, ROAR delves into the biological and hormonal differences that necessitate a specialised approach to maximise fitness outcomes for women.
Dr Sims, an esteemed exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist, imparts invaluable knowledge on how women can adapt their nutrition, hydration, and training regimens to work harmoniously with their unique physiological traits. The book offers goal-specific meal plans, nutrient-dense recipes, and expert advice tailored to various stages of training and recovery. It empowers women to build a robust fitness foundation by focusing on gaining lean muscle, strengthening bones, and enhancing endurance and power.
This revised edition of ROAR is enriched with the latest research findings, reflecting the rapid advancements in sports science. It includes expanded recommendations and updated guidelines that are in sync with the evolving landscape of women’s sports. Unique to this edition are comprehensive chapters dedicated to helping women remain active and strong during pregnancy and menopause, acknowledging the significant physiological changes that occur during these life stages.
The book’s holistic approach ensures it suits athletes from various disciplines, whether running, cycling, field sports, or triathlons. Regardless of your chosen sport, ROAR equips you with the essential knowledge to achieve and maintain peak physical condition, ensuring you are the healthiest, fittest, and strongest version of yourself.
