Muscle and Exercise Physiology is a comprehensive reference covering muscle and exercise physiology from basic science to advanced knowledge including muscle power generating capabilities, muscle energetics, fatigue, aging and the cardio-respiratory system in exercise performance. Written by experts in respective fields, the book presents the clinical importance of body responses to physical exercise, including its impact on the body reactive oxygen species production, body immune system, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, cardiac energetics and its functional reserves as well as the health-related effects of physical activity and inactivity of humans. Novel topics like critical power, ROS and muscle, and heart muscle physiology are explored in context of exercise physiology to provide the perfect balance of science and application for researchers and scientists interested in muscle and exercise physiology as well as students of biological sciences, including medicine, human movements and sport sciences.
