Product Description
The latest edition of Biochemistry Primer for Exercise Science provides upper-level undergraduate and graduate students with an understanding of the essential concepts of biochemistry--molecular biology, basic chemistry, metabolism, and transcription regulation--in an easy-to-understand format. Biochemistry Primer for Exercise Science, Third Edition is the first volume in Human Kinetics Primers in Exercise Science Series. With its updated information based on new research and ideas from exercise science and molecular biology and its greater interpretation of biochemistry in the context of the active human, this volume is the only text of its kind in this field. Students trained in traditional exercise physiology can understand basic concepts of energy, but without the knowledge gained from this book they might lack the ability to apply these principles to everyday life. This new edition fully integrates the concepts of biochemistry and physiology of exercise and provides critical information on how genes are controlled. In doing so, it melds the fields of human nutrition, physiology, and biochemistry into a more unifying science, and it presents students with the biochemistry content they need in order to understand the molecular aspects of human physical activity. The text helps prepare students for what lies ahead, and it is a great tool for professionals in related fields who want to learn about the biochemistry of exercise.

5 out of 5 found this review helpful
if you're interested in adquiring an easy and understandable base about proteins, carbohydrates and fats this book is a must as well as an indipensable start to understand further readings about the metabolism of exercise. The complete explanation about the turnover of proteins, krebs cycle, fatty acids, different roles of celular ARN are so well explained that you don't need to be an expert to understand the basics of this biochemical principles.
