ROAR (Revised Edition) - Stacy T. Sims PhD
Stacy T. Sims
You wouldn't believe how much of the science behind exercise training and nutrition advice is based only on studies with male participants. Turns out, female physiology responds differently; what works in males doesn't necessarily translate to females. If you are interested in getting the best out of your body, then this book is a must read. In ROAR Stacy Sims pulls together everything she knows (and that's a lot, they don't give just anyone a PhD!) into an easily understood and actionable bible for any active woman.
From the back cover:
Women are not small men. Stop eating and training like one.
In ROAR, exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist Stacy T. Sims, PhD, teaches you everything you need to know to adapt your nutrition, hydration, and training to work with your unique female physiology, rather than against it.
By understanding your physiology, you’ll know how best to adapt your lifestyle and build routines to maximize your performance, on and off the sports field. You’ll discover expert guidance on building a rock-solid foundation for fitness and everyday life with tips for determining your high-performance body composition, gaining lean muscle, and nailing your nutrition. Because a women’s physiology changes over time, you’ll also find full chapters devoted to pregnancy and menopause.
This revised edition includes a wealth of new research developments, expanded recommendations based on those findings, and updates to reflect the changing landscape of women’s sports.

Telling women's stories
You can't be what you can't see. We hope that reading about women's adventures will inspire more women to explore the edges of their comfort zones. You don't need a beard to climb a mountain or cross an ice cap!

Supporting female authors
The 'adventure' bookshelf is often dominated by books about and by male climbers and explorers. We aim to raise the profile of books written from a broader range of perspectives, especially female authors.

Female specific advice
There is much less research and training advice tailored to female specific physiology, but this is changing. We aim to help re-balance the gender disparity and highlight the advances in this field.
