Muscle and Exercise Physiology

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. Topics presented include the clinical importance of body responses to physical exercise, including its impact on oxygen species production, body immune system, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, cardiac energetics and its functional reserves, and the health-related effects of physical activity and inactivity. Novel topics like critical power, ROS and muscle, and heart muscle physiology are explored.

This book is ideal for researchers and scientists interested in muscle and exercise physiology, as well as students in the biological sciences, including medicine, human movements and sport sciences.

Fiziologia muschilor si a exercitiilor este o referinta cuprinzatoare care acopera fiziologia muschilor si a exercitiilor fizice, de la stiinte de baza la cunostinte avansate, incluzand capacitati de generare a puterii musculare, energetica musculara, oboseala, imbatranire si sistemul cardio-respirator in efectuarea exercitiilor. Subiectele prezentate includ importanta clinica a raspunsurilor corpului la exercitiul fizic, inclusiv impactul sau asupra productiei de specii de oxigen, sistemul imunitar al organismului, metabolismul lipidelor si glucidelor, energetica cardiaca si rezervele sale functionale, precum si efectele activitatii fizice si inactivitatii legate de sanatate.
