Description
This text is an essential resource for any practitioner interested in how muscles work, whether from the point of view of training for
sport, treating physical problems and diseases, or understanding the basic cellular physiology and how the function interrelates with
other body systems. It provides outstanding material on skeletal muscle physiology and biochemistry. The book also offers the reader
important knowledge on topics like embryonic development, muscle organization, energy metabolism, structure of the muscle fiber, and
mechanisms of fatigue.
Audience
Sport Science students, physiotherapists. The book is intended to be of use to those interested in how muscles work, whether from the
point of view of training for sport, treating physical problems and diseases, or understanding the basic cellular physiology and how
the function interrelates with other body systems.
