This text pairs in-depth explanations of what happens biochemically while athletes perform with practical suggestions for how to actually biochemically monitor athletes yourself.
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.
Providing a comprehensive review of the interactions between exercise and human reproduction, this unique text focuses on both the positive and negative consequences of sport and physical activity on male and female fertility and infertility and the biological mechanisms and processes behind them. Beginning with a review of the structure and function of the male and female reproductive systems as well as fertilization and gestation, the discussion then turns to the physiology and endocrinology of sport and exercise, which is further elaborated in subsequent chapters on the impact of physical activity, hormonal changes, pathologies, and consequences of drug use for active men and women.

Análisis y control del rendimiento deportivo amplia los conocimientos de campo y presenta una imagen completa y detallada del cómo y el por qué se lleva a cabo el control bioquímico. En las páginas de este libro, el lector encontrará toda la información científica necesaria ara seleccionar y aplicar los métodos bioquímicos para controlar el entrenamiento deportivo y mejorar los resultados en las distintas disciplinas deportivas. Incluye explicaciones detalladas de las reacciones bioquímicas que tienen lugar durante el ejercicio y ofrece sugerencias prácticas de cómo realizar un control bioquímico veraz del entrenamiento de los atletas. Es un libro de referencia esencial para científicos, investigadores y entrenadores de alto nivel. El libro se divide en tres partes: * Parte I. Explica los motivos por los cuales es necesario realizar un control bioquímico del entrenamiento y las ventajas que ofrece tanto a los entrenadores como a los atletas. * Parte II. Examina las limitaciones metodológicas de los estudios en este campo. * Parte III. Presenta la forma de aplicación de los métodos bioquímicos para controlar el entrenamiento en el mundo real.
This volume summarizes the proceedings of the Reisensburg workshop which took place at Reisensburg Castle in November 1997". The castle is built on the site of an - cient Roman compound and situated in the south of Germany at the Danube river. Sci- tists from Australia, Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, South Africa, Switzerland, and the United States participated in the workshop. Like the 1996 workshop, the proceedings of which will be published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Ex- cise in 1998, the 1997 workshop also focused on the topic of overtraining in its widest sense to deepen our knowledge in this particularly sensitive field of sports science and sports p...
The Athletic Skills Model offers an alternative to dominant talent development theories in the form of holistic broad-based movement education, focusing on health and wellbeing. It places the emphasis on ‘physical intelligence’ – including attributes such as agility, flexibility and stability – through adaptable and varied training programmes, creating a skilled athlete before introducing sport specialization. The book sets out the scientific underpinnings of the ASM before going on to offer practical guidance on the content of the programme, how to adapt and vary the programme, and how to apply the approach to different age groups and sports. The ASM’s application in the youth dev...
A new volume in the Emerging Issues in Analytical Chemistry series, Exercise, Sport, and Bioanalytical Chemistry: Principles and Practice focuses on the basic and applied aspects of energy metabolism in humans. Concise and scientific, yet intelligible to the nonscientist, the book consists of two parts. Part I, Introduction: Basics and Background, provides the biochemistry necessary to understand the rest of the book and describes analytical processes and results as an aid to grasping the science. Part II, Applications: Knowledge into Practice, explores measurement techniques for metabolism, energy expenditure of various activities, techniques that enhance expenditure, metabolic adaptation, ...
