Description for The Biochemical Basis of Sports Performance
Paperback. Introduces the student of sports science or exercise physiology to the biochemical processes that underpin exercise performance and the adaptations that occur with training. The principles of exercise biochemistry are introduced in a context that is immediately relevant to the student of sports science. Num Pages: 336 pages, 110 line illustrations. BIC Classification: MFGV; MMS; WSD. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 246 x 190 x 17. Weight in Grams: 636.
Some understanding of the biochemistry of exercise is fundamental to any study of the factors that contribute to sports performance. It is the physical, chemical and biochemical properties of cells and tissues that determine the physiological responses to exercise, and yet the teaching of exercise biochemistry is poorly developed compared with exercise physiology. Where the subject is taught, the student often finds the approach somewhat daunting, with its focus on thermodynamics, chemical structures and metabolic pathways. Many students find the subject difficult, when it should not be so. This book introduces the student of sports ... Read more

Reviews for The Biochemical Basis of Sports Performance
This well-written book does an excellent job of sorting through the volumes of information on physiology and sports to provide key concepts necessary in order to maximise performance while minimizing injury and overtraining.
