Description
xIn this Edited Volume, a diverse group of exercise metabolism experts, assembled a multi-facetted collection of fascinating contributions. The chapters focus on metabolism during exercise, including anaerobic and aerobic metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism (separate chapters on muscle glycogen and blood glucose), fat metabolism (separate chapters on muscle and adipose tissue) and protein metabolism.
Readers will find discussion on various tissues in addition to skeletal muscle, such as liver, heart and brain metabolism during exercise. In addition, the book includes chapters on other perspectives such as thermodynamic and bioenergetic aspects of exercise and a dive into history. Another focal point is on the effects of exercise in relation to training, age, sex, fatigue and the circadian rhythm.
This contemporary collection will be an essential resource for Physiologists, Sports Scientists, Coaches, Athletes and students alike.

xDr Glenn McConell is currently an Emeritus Professor at Victoria University and a Visiting Professor at The University of Copenhagen (2019-2022). He was a Professor at the Institute of Health and Sport (IHES) at Victoria University in Melbourne, Australia from 2010-2020. Prior to this he worked in the Departments of Physiology at Monash University and the University of Melbourne. He has published around 120 peer reviewed papers and obtained over $4 million in grant funding. His research has focussed on the regulation of skeletal muscle glucose uptake during exercise and insulin sensitivity following exercise. His group also has showed that exercise early in life can prevent glucose intolerance and insulin resistance in adult rats that were born small or had obese parents. This research has helped our understanding of how exercise prevents and improves Diabetes.
