These are questions that students need to be able to answer when studying for a number of sport related degrees. This can prove to be a difficult task for those with a relatively limited scientific background. \u003ci\u003eBiochemistry for Sport and Exercise Metabolism\u003c\/i\u003e addresses this problem by placing the primary emphasis on sport, and describing the relevant biochemistry within this context.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book opens with some basic information on the subject, including an overview of energy metabolism, some key aspects of skeletal muscle structure and function, and some simple biochemical concepts. It continues by looking at the three macromolecules which provide energy and structure to skeletal muscle - carbohydrates, lipids, and protein. The last section moves beyond biochemistry to examine key aspects of metabolism - the regulation of energy production and storage. Beginning with a chapter on basic principles of regulation of metabolism it continues by exploring how metabolism is influenced during high-intensity, prolonged, and intermittent exercise by intensity, duration, and nutrition.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA clearly written, well presented introduction to the biochemistry of muscle metabolism.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFocuses on sport to describe the relevant biochemistry within this context.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIn full colour throughout, it includes numerous illustrations, together with learning objectives and key points to reinforce learning.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBiochemistry for Sport and Exercise Metabolism\u003c\/i\u003e will prove invaluable to students across a range of sport-related courses, who need to get to grips with how exercise mode, intensity, duration, training status and nutritional status can all affect the regulation of energy producing pathways and, more important, apply this understanding to develop training and nutrition programmes to maximise athletic performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wiley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2011-12-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780470091852\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44310341877900,"sku":"9780470091852","price":58.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780470091852.jpg?v=1768917809","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780470091852","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
