Contents:
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.
Summary: 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.
