Extremely student friendly, this text is written in conversational style by Vassilis Mougios, who poses and then answers questions as if having a dialogue with a student. Using simple language supported by ample analogies and numerous illustrations, he is able to drive home important concepts for students without compromising scientific accuracy and content. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e With significantly updated research, the second edition of \u003ci\u003eExercise Biochemistry\u003c\/i\u003e offers a complete compilation, from basic topics to more advanced topics. It includes coverage of metabolism, endocrinology, and assessment all in one volume. This edition also adds the following: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e - A chapter on vitamins and minerals present in the human diet \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e - An evidence-based chapter on exercise and disease that shows how appropriate exercise prescriptions can mobilize biochemical mechanisms in the body to fight obesity, cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, diabetes, the metabolic syndrome, cancer, osteoporosis, mental disease, and aging \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e - Updated information on nucleic acids and gene expression, including exercise genetics, RNA interference, and epigenetics \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e - An examination of caffeine as an ergogenic aid to better demonstrate the relationship between caffeine and fatigue \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e - Up-to-date findings on how different types of exercise affect lipid metabolism and the use of individual fatty acids during exercise \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e To facilitate student learning, \u003ci\u003eExercise Biochemistry\u003c\/i\u003e incorporates chapter objectives and summaries, key terms, sidebars, and questions and problems posed at the end of each chapter. It leads students through four successive parts. \u003cb\u003ePart I\u003c\/b\u003e introduces biochemistry basics, including metabolism, proteins, nucleic acids and gene expression, carbohydrates and lipids, and vitamins and minerals. \u003cb\u003ePart II\u003c\/b\u003e applies the basics to explore neural control of movement and muscle activity. The essence of the book is found in \u003cb\u003epart III\u003c\/b\u003e, which details exercise metabolism related to carbohydrates, lipids, and protein; compounds of high phosphoryl-transfer potential; effects of exercise on gene expression; integration of exercise metabolism; and the use of exercise to fight disease. \u003cb\u003ePart IV\u003c\/b\u003e focuses on biochemical assessment of people who exercise, with chapters on iron status, metabolites, enzymes, and hormones. Simple biochemical assessments of health and performance are also discussed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eExercise Biochemistry, Second Edition, \u003c\/i\u003eis an authoritative resource that will arm future sport and exercise scientists with a clear understanding of the effects of exercise on the function of the human body. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vassilis Mougios\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1492529044\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781492529040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Human Kinetics Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 8.60w x 1.20d","brand":"Vassilis Mougios","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44829748560127,"sku":"9781492529040","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f81fa14-f952-4f6c-908e-72df46d2c650.jpg?v=1708451545","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/exercise-biochemistry-vassilis-mougios-9781492529040","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
