Product Description: Some understanding of the biochemistry of exercise is fundamental to any study of the factors that contribute to sports performance. It is the physical, chemical and biochemical properties of cells and tissues that determine the physiological responses to exercise, and yet the teaching of exercise biochemistry is poorly developed compared with its focus on thermodynamics, chemical structures and metabolic pathways...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: There are two main reasons for pursuing research in the Sports Sciences. Firstly, by studying responses to exercise, we learn about the normal function of the tissues and or­ gans whose function allows exercise to be performed. The genetic endowment of elite ath­ letes is a major factor in their success, and they represent one end of the continuum of human performance capability: the study of elite athletes also demonstrates the limits of human adaptation because nowhere else is the body subjected to such levels of intensive exercise on a regular basis...read more

Product Description: Forty-six essays serve as a reference for researchers and a suitable text for graduate students in exercise science. The proceedings are divided under twelve topics: regulation of carbohydrate metabolism in exercise, regulation of fat metabolism in exercise, integration of fat and carbohydrate meta...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)
