2nd ed. edition
by Adam P Sharples (Editor), James P Morton (Editor), Henning Wackerhage (Editor)
Fully revised and expanded, the second edition of Molecular Exercise Physiology offers
a student-friendly introduction. It introduces a history documenting
the emergence of molecular biology techniques to investigate exercise
physiology, the methodology used, exercise genetics and epigenetics, and
the molecular mechanisms that lead to adaptation after different types
of exercise, with explicit links to outcomes in sport performance,
nutrition, physical activity and clinical exercise.
Structured
around key topics in sport and exercise science and featuring
contributions from pioneering scientists, such as Nobel Prize winners,
this edition includes new chapters based on cutting-edge research in
epigenetics and muscle memory, satellite cells, exercise in cancer, at
altitude, and in hot and cold climates. Chapters include learning
objectives, structured guides to further reading, review questions,
overviews of work by key researchers and box discussions from important
pioneers in the field, making it a complete resource for any molecular
exercise physiology course. The book includes cell and molecular biology
laboratory methods for dissertation and research projects in molecular
exercise physiology and muscle physiology.
This
book is essential reading for upper-level undergraduate or postgraduate
courses in cellular and molecular exercise physiology and muscle
physiology. It is a valuable resource for any student with an advanced
interest in exercise physiology in both sport performance and clinical
settings.
