Exercise and Sport Pharmacology is an essential book for teaching
upper-level undergraduates or entry-level graduate students about
how drugs can affect exercise and how exercise can affect the
action of drugs. It leads students through the related pathology,
exercise physiology, and drug action of many of today's chronically
used medications, and discusses how drugs can affect exercise
performance. This new second edition of the book is divided into
four parts: Section I provides the basics of pharmacology, exercise
physiology, autonomic pharmacology, and the stress response;
Section II presents chapters on major cardiovascular and
respiratory drug classes; Section III describes frequently
prescribed medications for such common conditions as diabetes,
depression, pain, fever, inflammation, and obesity; and Section IV
includes discussions of nutritional supplements and commonly used
drugs such as caffeine, nicotine, cannabis, and
performance-enhancing drugs. The second edition offers many
updates, enhances muscle cell physiology, includes the involvement
of the gut microbiome, and each chapter has a new section on the
effects of aging. In Sections II and III, chapters include an
overview of the pathology that therapeutic drugs are designed to
treat and how the drug works in the human body. In contrast to
standard pharmacology texts, Exercise and Sport Pharmacology also
includes the effect of exercise on the pathology of the condition
and the effect of exercise on how the body responds to a drug. Each
chapter has a section on whether the drugs under discussion have
performance-enhancing potential. Section IV is concerned with
self-medication and drugs or supplements taken without a
prescription or with limited medical supervision. Throughout,
figures and tables as well as data from experiments in exercise
pharmacology help to illustrate and summarize content. Each chapter
opens with an on-going case example to preview and apply chapter
content. In the text, boldface terms indicate which concepts are
contained in the book's Glossary. Chapters conclude with a Key
Concepts Review and Review Questions.
