Exercise Biochemistry

Exercise Biochemistry describes how, at the molecular level, exercise affects the functioning of humans and animals. Part 1 covers the principles of biochemistry that are then applied in Part 2 to be the excitation of the nervous and muscular system when producing muscular contraction. Exercise modulation of metabolism is discussed in Part 3 and the simple biochemical tests used to assess an athlete's health and performance are described in Part 4. Biochemistry is a difficult, technical and for many an uninteresting subject! However, Mougios does an excellent job of making the information as interesting as possible to students. This textbook offers a combination of all the topics related to exercise biochemistry in one volume, and in addition is user-friendly and written a way that does not alienate students.
