Power Eating by Susan M. Kleiner, Maggie Greenwood-Robinson

Beyond the fad weight-loss diets, beyond the bodybuilding mythology about excessive amounts of protein for making muscle, beyond the nonsense that circulates about nutrition in the world today, there is a body of scientific knowledge that shows us a road map to our goals. For example, Susan Kleiner shares a formula to determine exactly how much protein the bodies of strength trainers and bodybuilders can use before storing the extra as fat, why amino-acid supplements are a very expensive and somewhat inferior substitute for simple foods such as yogurt and chicken, and why carbohydrates, not protein, are the most important nutrients for muscle building. Many of the recommendations seem so simple--"eat fruits and vegetables," for exampleshows us that sometimes the oldest --but Power Eating advice in the world isaligned with modern nutritional perfectly science, whereas the complex solutions dreamed up by bodybuilding gurus and supplementmanufacturers don't always stand up to rigorous analysis.

Stronger Abs & Back by Brittenham & Brittenham.

The above book is now available from the Oztrack Athletic bookstore.
The program recommends a large variety of trunk exercises performed perfectly. Athletes should aim in their programs for a good mix of core stability exercises possibly with a swiss ball and to progress from Ab/back conditioning exercises to strength exercises (as their condition improves) and then possibly for some athletes to Ab/back power exercises. The days of considering 3 sets of 50 situps as good ab work are gone.
I consider this a key area in helping an athlete to prevent trunk related injuries eg Hamstring tears. a stable trunk should also provide better balance and relaxation at high speeds.
