About the Book: Biochemistry for Sport and Exercise Metabolism 2nd Edition
All-new edition of an introductory textbook on sport and exercise biochemistry
and muscle metabolism
Biochemistry for Sport and Exercise Metabolism initially examines the essence
of the biochemistry of the macronutrients before exploring how exercise mode,
intensity, and duration, training status, and nutritional status affects the
regulation of energy producing pathways, enabling readers to apply this
understanding to develop training and nutrition programs that maximize athletic
performance. This textbook includes an overview of energy metabolism, skeletal
muscle structure and function and related biochemical concepts, carbohydrates,
lipids, and proteins, metabolism, regulation of metabolism, and factors that can
influence metabolism,
