Biochemistry For Sport And Exercise Metabolism Av Donald (liverpool John Moores University Uk) Maclaren, James (liverpool Jmu) Morton

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. This can prove to be a difficult task for those with a relatively limited scientific background. <i>Biochemistry for Sport and Exercise Metabolism</i> addresses this problem by placing the primary emphasis on sport, and describing the relevant biochemistry within this context. <p>The 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 chapt
