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.

Reviews for The Endurance Paradox: Bone Health for the Endurance Athlete

This book is a must read for athletes of all sports, ages and abilities, although targeted specifically for endurance athletes, it is also a must read for coaches, trainers, sports doctors, physical therapists and in fact anyone wishing to maintain or manage bone health. It educates the reader about the factors related to achieving good bone health and gives sound, evidenced based suggestions. It also appears that pursuing good bone health will improve performance and well-being, they are all related. The book is very easy to read, well researched and provides many new insights for the reader. Its information we all need when pursuing an active life. -Graeme Nuttridge, Physical Therapist, Faculty Memberof the McKenzie Institute and Advanced Practitioner in Sports and Orthopaedics
