Students trained in traditional exercise physiology have learned the basic concepts of energy but often dont fully understand human energy consumption at the molecular level. Biochemistry Primer for Exercise Science, Fifth Edition, offers students a fundamental understanding of how biochemical processes underpin physical activity, performance, and overall health.

Reflecting the rapid development of the field, this foundational text continues to present the essentials of biochemistry--molecular biology, basic chemistry, metabolism, and transcription regulation--in an easy-to-understand format. With new and updated illustrations, the fifth edition features the most recent research in exercise biochemistry and contains new and expanded content on the following topics:


The structure, expression, interactions, and adaptations of proteins in the body (proteomics)
Muscle contraction and fatigue
The regulation of gene expression in health and disease
Control of biochemical and muscular adaptations to exercise and training through signaling pathways
The basics of signaling mechanisms associated with different types of exercise and adaptations to different forms of exercise training
New and developing research areas highlighted through Next Stage sidebars


Biochemistry Primer for Exercise Science, Fifth Edition, combines information from nutrition, physiology, and biochemistry to provide a clear explanation of metabolism and the human bodys response to physical activity. Special elements throughout the text help to demystify this complex and dynamic field of study. Key points, sidebars, and chapter summaries help reinforce essential concepts. A comprehensive glossary and abbreviation and reference lists help students gain confidence in their understanding of exercise biochemistry.

With its combination of essential topics, new findings, and future directions in research, Biochemistry Primer for Exercise Science, Fifth Edition, provides a foundational understanding on the working of cellular and integrative whole-body metabolism and the human bodys response to physical activity.
