Students trained in traditional exercise physiology have learned
the basic concepts of energy but often don't fully understand human
energy consumption at the molecular level." Biochemistry Primer for
Exercise Science, Fourth Edition," provides an introduction to
biochemistry that will give readers greater insight into the
molecular aspects of human physical activity.
Reflecting the rapid development of the field, this classic text
continues to present the essentials of biochemistry--molecular
biology, basic chemistry, metabolism, and transcription
regulation--in an easy-to-understand format. The fourth edition
features the most recent research in exercise biochemistry plus new
and revised content, including the following:
- All-new coverage of the control of biochemistry and
biochemical and muscular adaptations to exercise and training via
signaling pathways, an area of study that has received much
attention in recent years
- Added information on the regulation of gene expression, which
highlights the need for students to comprehend the basics of
molecular biology
- Next Stage sections in each chapter, which lead students
toward emerging areas of knowledge in the field by examining new or
controversial areas of research
- An integration of the chapters on DNA, RNA, and the regulation
of protein synthesis to provide a more focused and effective
presentation of these key concepts
"Biochemistry Primer for Exercise Science, Fourth Edition,"
combines information from nutrition, physiology, and biochemistry
to provide a clear explanation of the working of metabolism and the
human body's response to physical activity. Special elements
throughout the text help to demystify this complex and dynamic
field of study. Key points reinforce essential concepts and aid
readers in relating them to sport and exercise. Chapter summaries
outline important information to take away, and review questions
with answers allow readers to test their knowledge of each
chapter's content. A comprehensive glossary and the list of
abbreviations found on the inside front and back covers help
readers become familiar with commonly used biochemistry terms, and
a reference list provides a starting point for exploring areas of
interest in more detail.
With its combination of essential topics, new findings, and
future directions in research, "Biochemistry Primer for Exercise
Science, Fourth Edition," is a perfect resource for anyone looking
to build an understanding of exercise biochemistry. Both students
and professionals alike will find the information they need to
begin their exploration of this fascinating field of study.
