This book discusses the maximal power and capacity of the three major biochemical pathways - aerobic (oxygen consumption), anaerobic lactic (muscle lactate accumulation in absence of oxygen consumption), and anaerobic alactic (phosphocreatine hydrolysis) metabolism - as well as the factors that limit them. It also discusses the metabolic and cardio-pulmonary mechanisms of the dynamic response to exercise. The way and extent to which the power and capacity of the three major energy metabolisms are affected under a number of different conditions, such as training, hypoxia and microgravity, are also described.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This book focuses on the cellular and molecular
pathways that contribute to the regulation of muscular contraction during
exercise, integrating human physiology, chemistry, and sport performance. . The
audience for this book is likely to be in academia -- undergraduates, graduates,
researchers, and/or professors." (Erik H. Van Iterson, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2015)
