Synopsis
Publisher's Summary There is a new revolution happening in sports as more and more athletes are basing their success on this game-changing combination: health, nutrition, training, recovery, and mindset. Unfortunately, the evidence-based techniques that the expert PhDs, academic institutions, and professional performance staffs follow can be in stark contrast to what many athletes actually practice. When combined with the noise of social media, old-school traditions, and bro-science, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction. Peak is a groundbreaking book exploring the fundamentals of high performance (not the fads), the importance of consistency (not extreme effort), and the value of patience (not rapid transformation). Dr. Marc Bubbs makes deep science easy-to-understand, and with information from leading experts who are influencing the top performers in sports on how to achieve world-class success, he lays out the record-breaking feats of athleticism, and strategies that are rooted in this personalized approach. Dr. Bubbs expertly brings together the worlds of health, nutrition, and exercise, and synthesizes the salient science into actionable guidance. Regardless if you’re trying to improve your physique, propel your endurance, or improve your team’s record, looking at performance through this lens is absolutely critical for lasting success. Please note: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ©2019 Marc Bubbs (P)2019 Chelsea Green Publishing

This book is very detailed and incredibly informative. Anyone from a novice to an experienced training will take something away from this book and everyone should read it more than once to absorb all the information.

the target audience must be for doctors and above because a lot of the information went right over my head. however I was able to re listen to bits and pieces of the information I was interested in expanding upon. the voice is very monotone and hard to listen to for extended periods of time.

Almost too much detail at times. but in every way, Dr. Bubbs gives hope to athletes of all ages. I have made serious nutritional shifts based on his advice. Read the book if you have more than a casual approach to fitness.

I enjoyed this book very much because this was actually exactly the information that I was looking for the book reveals all strategies of professional atlas regarding nutrition and supplements. generation is very good and the content is well organised I would recommend this book to anyone who aims to take himself to the next level both physical and mental.

This book is absolutely packed with really interesting information on what medical science knows and doesn’t know about wellness, fitness, and athletic performance. However, much of the book is written in lists or blurbs that don’t translate well to the audiobook format. In addition, it’s read by the author. I usually like when this is done as the author knows just how they intended for a sentence to be inflected, but in this case it is really difficult to listen to. He constantly pauses at strange places within a sentence or even a word, which makes it very difficult to follow what is being said. I really wanted to be able to listen to this whole book but I just can’t get past the strange stilted performance.

This book is very well narrated considering the high caliber content included in every chapter. I use Audible.com to preview books on my Amazon.com wish list. This is definitely one of those books that I will proceed to purchase the hardcover version. There’s so much to learn from that it simply requires more than just listening to it. It is definitely a keeper for your personal ‘sports science’ library.

My favorite part about this book is that the author asks many questions that he then goes on to answer objectively with sound scientific research. He doesn’t add his own opinion unless clearly stated and he doesn’t exaggerate or underestimate findings. It is clear and a book you may want to put on repeat a few times until you’re able to understand all of the concepts. They are scholarly and can give your brain a little twist if you’re not a commoner of functional medicine principles.

I learned a lot from this title, It was a little tough to follow in audiobook format, because it was so information dense, but information is good! The information goes beyond most of the stuff you read online and in magazines, and the author takes pains to explain the underlying research.

Nothing actionable and nearly all conclusions include the phrase “It depends” or “we just don’t know”

The narrator sounds so close to a computer voice, at times I wondered if it actually WAS narrated by a computer. The monotone, lack of inflection, awkward pauses...its almost too much. Im afraid that the audiobook version of this otherwise good book will cause alot of people to miss out on useful information. It truly, truly is a struggle to focus and listen to this narrator.
