Review: This book has helped me a lot with my studies. Though it is detailed it is easy to understand when combined with lectures in university. May be a hard subject to grasp if there is no one you can go and talk to to clarify and questions you may have. This book is perfect for anyone studying sport science who will study any modules on metabolism.

Review: The paperback version of the book is printed in black and white which is a big problem when it comes to trying to understand many of the charts/figures in the book - most of the 42 charts (figures) in chapter 9 and 31 charts (figures) in chapter 10 (and others throughout the book) use various colours to represent different things - of course the different colours become the same shade of grey in the black and white printing making the charts (figures) impossible to understand. The publishers Wiley-Blackwell have caused this problem - they obviously didn't research what the effect of using a black and white printing would do to the book's figures which were clearly created specifically for a coloured version of the book. This is such a shame as the authors have produced a really great book in terms of content and pedagogy. However, in my opinion Amazon should not be selling a book in a form (black & white) that makes many parts of it unreadable by the buyer.

  • Waterstones Understanding Human Metabolism

    Price: £11.99

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: Does eating more carbohydrates, or fats, cause one to put on more weight? Are ketone bodies toxins or vital products that keep us alive during starvation? Does the concept of 'fat-burning exercise' hold true? In this game-changing book, Keith Frayn, an international expert in human metabolism and nutrition, dispels common misconceptions about human metabolism, explaining in everyday language the important metabolic processes that underlie all aspects of our daily lives. Illustrated throughout with clear diagrams of metabolic processes, Frayn describes the communication systems that enable our different organs and tissues to cooperate, for instance in providing fuel to our muscles when we exercise, and in preserving our tissues during fasting. He explores the impressive adaptability of human metabolism and discusses the metabolic disorders that can arise when metabolism 'goes wrong'. For anyone sceptical of information about diet and lifestyle, this concise book guides the reader through what metabolism really involves.

  • Waterstones Fatigue in Sport and Exercise

    Price: £39.99

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: Fatigue is an important concern for athletes at all levels, recreational sport and exercise participants, athletic coaches, personal trainers, and fitness professionals. The study of fatigue is also important for students of the sport, exercise, and health sciences, as it enables a deeper understanding of fundamental physical function and the limitations behind human performance. There remains considerable debate about the definition of fatigue, what causes it, its impact during different forms of sport and exercise, and the multitude of factors that can influence the nature and severity of fatigue. The vast body of literature in these areas can make it challenging to understand what we know and what we still need to understand about fatigue in sport and exercise. The second edition of this book presents a fully revised and updated overview of the contemporary research evidence into sport and exercise fatigue. The book examines the latest thinking into how we conceptualise fatigue, as well as how we measure it. The fundamental science of fatigue is introduced, focussing predominantly on physiological aspects of energy depletion, metabolic acidosis, environmental challenges, electrolytes and minerals, and the perception of fatigue as it relates to mental fatigue and the central regulation of sport and exercise performance. Each chapter includes real case studies from sport and exercise, as well as useful features to aid learning and understanding such as definitions of key terms, guides to further reading, and discussion questions. Fatigue in Sport and Exercise, Second Edition is an invaluable companion for any degree-level course in sport and exercise science, fitness and training, or strength and conditioning.
