From its early beginnings in the 1960s, the academic field of
biochemistry of exercise has expanded beyond examining and
describing metabolic responses to exercise and adaptations to
training to include a wide understanding of molecular biology, cell
signalling, interorgan communication, stem cell physiology, and a
host of other cellular and biochemical mechanisms regulating acute
responses and chronic adaptations related to exercise performance,
human health/disease, nutrition, and cellular functioning. The
Routledge Handbook on Biochemistry of Exercise is the first book to
pull together the full depth and breadth of this subject and to
update a rapidly expanding field of study with current issues and
controversies and a look forward to future research directions.
Bringing together many experts and leading scientists, the book
emphasizes the current understanding of the underlying metabolic,
cellular, genetic, and cell signalling mechanisms associated with
physical activity, exercise, training, and athletic performance as
they relate to, interact with, and regulate cellular and muscular
adaptations and consequent effects on human health/disease,
nutrition and weight control, and human performance. With more
emphasis than ever on the need to be physically active and the role
that being active plays in our overall health from a whole-body
level down to the cell, this book makes an important contribution
for scholars, medical practitioners, nutritionists, and
coaches/trainers working in research and with a wide range of
clients. This text is important reading for all students, scholars,
and others with an interest in health, nutrition, and
exercise/training in general.
