Waterlogged: The Serious Problem of Overhydration in Endurance Sports Book

This title helps you discover the truth about sports drinks. Ever since researchers in Florida first formulated Gatorade in 1965, use of sports drinks has increased to the point of overindulgence by elite performers and novices alike.

This book will be a groundbreaking and eye-opening work for millions of athletes worldwide who seek to train and perform at a high level.Read More
