Book Description
The third edition of Nutrition in Exercise and Sport has been updated and expanded to include the latest developments in the field. This third edition of a bestseller among sports nutrition and health professionals now fully discusses the role of exercise and nutrition in both wellness and in disease prevention. In addition, new chapters on the history of sports nutrition, antioxidants, vegetarianism, the young athlete, the older athlete, the diabetic athlete, the physically disabled athlete, sports specific nutrient requirements, and body composition changes have been added. Top sports nutrition practitioners and exercise scientists have contributed chapters that provide practical nutritional guidelines for those engaged in various types of physical performance. This book is a one-volume library on sports nutrition for research scientists in applied sports nutrition, dietitians, exercise physiologists, sports medicine physicians, coaches, trainers, athletes, and nutritionists. The first two editions of this book have been widely used in sports nutrition courses. Nutrition in Exercise and Sport is the standard in the field.

Exercise and Sport Science
Author: William E. GarrettPublisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
ISBN: 9780683034219
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 1016
Book Description
Written by experts in exercise physiology, exercise science, and biomechanics, this volume focuses specifically on exercise science in relation to athletic performance and to the diagnosis, management, and prevention of athletic injuries. The text is logically organized into sections on energy metabolism, exercise physiology, organ system responses to exercise, general concerns in applied exercise science, sports biomechanics, and applied sports physiology. The biomechanics and sports physiology sections focus on particular sports, to determine specific diagnosis and treatment aspects. The book also includes chapters on exercise in children and the elderly, environmental influences on physical performance, overtraining, chronobiology, and microgravity.
Sports Endocrinology
Author: F. LanfrancoPublisher: Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers
ISBN: 3318058696
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
This book is an up-to-date, extensive overview of the effects of physical activity and training on endocrine function. It gives insights into a complex relationship by describing effects with respect to exercise performance, growth, development, and ageing. It includes discussions of the endocrine response depending on exercise mode, intensity, and duration as well as on gender, age, and fitness level. Additionally the book deals with the impact of environmental and psychological factors on endocrine level. A substantial part of Sports Endocrinology is devoted to the 'hot topic' of hormonal doping in sports. The properties of androgens, growth hormone, erythropoietin, and dietary supplements are highlighted. The use and abuse among professional and recreational athletes is discussed and specific methods of detection are presented and explained. All contributors are well-known experts in sports medicine and endocrinology, endocrine physiology, pharmacology, and doping detection, so this book is a must-read for every professional involved in the field.
Temperature and in Vivo Human Skeletal Muscle Function and Metabolism

Book Description
Increasing the temperature of the exercising muscle, passively or actively, leads to alterations in the contractile properties of the muscle, importantly an increase in power output. There is limited information, however, regarding the metabolic changes, if any, occurring within the muscle at higher temperatures and how these are related to the contractile changes occurring within the muscle and how such changes may, or may not, affect the efficiency of the working muscles. The greater power output produced during maximal sprint cycling, after a passive increase in Tm, was associated with an increase in the rate of anaerobic ATP turnover and muscle fibre conduction velocity. Further investigation revealed that this greater anaerobic ATP turnover within the muscle was the result of a greater activity of type HA fibres in the cadence range of 160-180 revs. min−1. When the external power output of the muscle remains constant during more prolonged cycling exercise, performed at 60 revs. min−1, there was also a greater rate of anaerobic ATP turnover in the first 2 min of exercise, with no differences in the remainder of exercise after passive elevation of Tm. There were no differences in the aerobic energy contribution or the kinetics of the V02 response between T. conditions. These changes led to a decrease in mechanical efficiency in the first 2 min of exercise, which was associated with a tendency for a greater PCr degradation in type I fibres. When T. was elevated via prior intense exercise there was decrease in mechanical efficiency, during 6 min of heavy exercise, at both 60 and 120 revs. min−1. There was also a greater "absolute" primary amplitude and decrease in the slow component after prior exercise, with the response being greater at 120 revs. min−1. The present research has demonstrated that whilst an increase in T. leads to a greater power output, during maximal exercise, mechanical efficiency is reduced as exercise progresses beyond a few seconds. Furthermore, at faster pedal rates T. affects type IIA fibres whilst at slower pedal rates (60 revs. min−1) there appears to be a preferential effect on type I fibres, highlighting the velocity specific effect of Tm.
Regulation of Coronary Blood Flow

Book Description
Research centering on blood flow in the heart continues to hold an important position, especially since a better understanding of the subject may help reduce the incidence of coronary arterial disease and heart attacks. This book summarizes recent advances in the field; it is the product of fruitful cooperation among international scientists who met in Japan in May, 1990 to discuss the regulation of coronary blood flow.
