Biochemistry for Sport and Exercise Metabolism 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 programs to maximise athletic performance. The rst part encompasses basic information including an overview of energy metabolism, some key aspects of skeletal muscle structure and function and some simple, but necessarily basic, biochemical concepts. The second part of the book gets to grips with the three macromolecules which provide energy and structure to skeletal muscle - carbohydrates, lipids, and protein. The third l part moves beyond biochemistry to examine key aspects of metabolism, i.e. the regulation of energy production and storage. To this end, we have a chapter on basic principles of regulation of metabolism, followed by three chapters exploring how metabolism is inuenced during high-intensity, prolonged and intermittent exercise by intensity, duration, and nutrition. We also provide some pointers towards an understanding of fatigue when undergoing these activities. The new fourth part focuses on biochemical and metabolic adaptations to training and features four chapters focusing on high intensity, endurance, strength and concurrent training. Key Features: A clearly written, well presented introduction to the biochemistry of muscle metabolism. Focuses on sport to describe the relevant biochemistry within this context. Features Learning Outcomes, Keywords, and Key Points to reinforce learning.
