Biochemistry for sport and exercise metabolism / Don MacLaren, James Morton. - Chichester : Wiley-Blackwell, 2012. - xiii, 249 p. : col. ill. ; 25 cm. - Wiley sporttexts series . - Wiley sporttexts series. .

Includes bibliographical references and index.

One.Basic muscle physiology and energetics -- 1.Energy sources for muscular activity -- 2.Skeletal muscle structure and function -- 3.Biochemical concepts -- Two.Fundamentals of sport and exercise biochemistry -- 4.Proteins -- 5.Carbohydrates -- 6.Lipids -- Three.Metabolic regulation in sport and exercise -- 7.Principles of metabolic regulation -- 8.High-intensity exercise -- 9.Endurance exercise -- 10.High-intensity intermittent exercise.

How do our muscles produce energy for exercise and what are the underlying biochemical principles involved? These are questions that students need to be able to answer when studying for a number of sport related degrees and which are answered here by combining a traditional approach to biochemistry teaching with a contemporary application to sport.
