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.
