Description
This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. It starts with the origin of life and
ends with the mechanisms that make muscles adapt to different forms of training. In between, it considers how evidence has been obtained
about the extent of genetic influence on human capacities, how muscles and their fibres are studied for general properties and individual
differences, and how molecular biological techniques have been combined with physiological ones to produce the new discipline of molecular
exercise physiology. This is the first book on such topics written specifically for modules in exercise and sport science at final year
Hons BSc and taught MSc levels.
Audience
Final year undergraduate students of sports science and of exercise physiology; coursework MSc students of same subjects.
