Description
This multi-author volume, the first of its kind, examines different aspects of exercise associated oxidative stress, its management, and how reactive oxygen may affect the functional capacity of various vital organs and tissues. Special emphasis is given to aging and nutritional aspects of antioxidant supplementation. The volume is a compilation of comprehensive reviews intelligible to a general scientific audience, and will be of great interest to sports medicine professionals (e.g., researchers, trainers, physicians and sportsmen) and students. Readers who are not familiar with the basic aspects of oxygen free radical will find the first chapter on Free Radical Chemistry to be very useful.
