Description Table of Contents Product Details

Sports performance is all about strength, speed, power and endurance. These attributes of the athlete are gained through heredity and appropriate training and can also be influenced by diet. Ultimately it is the processes taking place at the molecular and cellular level that underpin exercise performance and the adaptations that occur with training. Thus, students of sport and exercise science need some understanding of biochemistry.To provide a clear understanding of issuessurrounding biochemistry in sport, the text describes the biochemical processes involved in energy provision for different sports events and the way in which limitations in the energy supply can cause fatigue and thus limit performance.
