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, and fatigue.

This revised and updated second edition reflects some of the latest advances in the field, with new content on metabolic regulation as well as adaptations to high intensity and strength exercise, endurance exercise, and intermittent exercise. Furthermore, there is a new chapter on biochemical techniques to provide some pertinent background on how reported metabolic changes during exercise are achieved.

This textbook features learning objectives, keywords, and key points in each chapter to aid in reader comprehension and reinforce information retention.

Written by two highly qualified authors, Biochemistry for Sport and Exercise Metabolism discusses sample topics including:

How the energy supply for muscle contraction is achieved from carbohydrates, lipids and protein

Muscle contraction, covering propagation of the action potential, excitation-contraction coupling, and the sliding filament mechanism Regulation of the energy systems providing energy for exercise Techniques for exercise metabolism, including respiratory analysis, ergometry, blood sampling, metabolomics, a-v differences, muscle biopsy, and isotopes Exploration of the metabolic events occurring during high intensity, endurance, and high-intensity intermittent forms of exercise

Clearly written and completely comprehensive, the second edition of Biochemistry for Sport and Exercise Metabolism continues to be an invaluable learning resource for students across a wide range of sport-related courses.
