A valuable 10 year update - 3rd, completely revised edition - Enzymes, Energy and Endurance. Some Provocative Thoughts - Evolving Concepts of Skeletal Muscle Fibers - Molecular Aspects of Muscular Contraction - High-Energy Phosphates and Muscle Energetics - Carbohydrate Metabolism - Lactate Metabolism during Exercise - Lipid Mobilization and Utilization This unique volume provides a comprehensive review of the biochemistry of exercise. Written by internationally renowned experts, the publication has been completely revised and updated. The present edition follows the new concepts of applied biochemistry which have emerged recently in the scientific literature. Genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics are nowadays common terms used to the elucidation of gene function, expression of proteins and comprehensive analysis of all the metabolites in a tissue. The major steps of biochemistry are considered in active survey in this new 3rd edition of an already acclaimed publication. The book is a valuable source for all exercise biochemists and physiologists, sports physicians, graduate students in physical education and physical therapy, and postgraduate research fellows. The last editions were lacking any precise information on lactate which was often considered a waste product. A new chapter by Gladden will fill in the missing gap.
