Short description
A reference for exercise physiologists and biochemists, this book is useful for students in physiology, sport and exercise science and biochemistry. It provides information on the metabolic processes that take place during exercise and takes an in-depth look at the mobilization and utilization of substrates-glucose, lipid, and protein.
Long description
A reference for exercise physiologists and biochemists and a text for students in physiology, sport and exercise science and biochemistry. This book provides readers with information on the metabolic processes that take place during exercise. It takes an in-depth look at the mobilization and utilization of substrates-glucose, lipid, and protein - during physical activity. It also contains new information on high intensity exercise and the rest-exercise transition.
Review
This is a timely and thoughtful monograph which will be lucid and enlightening for the student and scientist of exercise metabolism.

This is a much needed book which provides a comprehensive and authoritative review of the biochemistry of exercise. The authors are all recognized leaders in exercise science, and the quality of the chapters is uniformly high. Researchers looking for an up-to-the-minute review, as well as students taking advanced classes in the physiology and biochemistry of exercise will find this an invaluable guide. It will certainly be one of the first books that I turn to when looking for authoritative comment on exercise metabolism. There is no other book currently available that gives a detailed account of the metabolic response to physical exercise.

Well-written overviews covering a dynamic field. There is a good balance between past and current research findings for the graduate student and researchers in the field of metabolism.

Exercise Metabolism provides a series of chapters that overview the field of exercise biochemistry. This rapidly growing field has amassed an overwhelming amount of new information; Exercise Metabolism provides an up-to-date summary of the most recent findings. As an investigator in the field of human exercise physiology, I feel this book is a valuable addition to my library. It brings together in one text the concepts and theoriesthat define the role of energy exchange during exercise.
