"The Biochemistry of Exercise" brings to life an admittedly difficult and technical subject. Extremely useful and student-friendly, it is written in a conversational format by Vasilis Mougios, who poses and then answers questions as if conversing with a student. Mougios makes the information interesting by using simple language without compromising scientific accuracy and content. He also widely uses analogies, relevant artworks, and numerous images to make the concepts absolutely clear to the readers.
The result is that The Biochemistry of Exercise is an enlightening text on the effects of exercise on functionality at the molecular level. It presents both basic biochemistry knowledge and in-depth coverage of exercise biochemistry. The book uses key terms, inserts, and questions and problems listed at the end of each chapter to facilitate learning. It also covers metabolism, endocrinology, and assessment, all in one volume, unlike other exercise biochemistry books.
The Biochemistry of Exercise is an extremely readable book that serves as a source of understanding how exercise alters bodily functions. The text is useful for both students and professionals.
