Muscle and Exercise Physiology is a comprehensive reference covering muscle and exercise physiology from basic science to advanced knowledge. The book delves into topics such as muscle power generating capabilities, muscle energetics, fatigue, aging, and the cardio-respiratory system in exercise performance. It explores the clinical importance of body responses to physical exercise, including its impact on oxygen species production, immune system response, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, cardiac energetics, and functional reserves. Novel topics like critical power, ROS and muscle physiology, and heart muscle physiology are also examined.

This book is ideal for researchers and scientists interested in muscle and exercise physiology, as well as students in the biological sciences, including medicine, human movements, and sport sciences. It contains basic and state-of-the-art knowledge on the most important issues of muscle and exercise physiology, covering muscle and body adaptation to physical training, the impact of aging and physical activity/inactivity. The book provides both the basic and advanced knowledge required to understand mechanisms that limit physical capacity in untrained people and top-class athletes. It also covers advanced content on muscle power generating capabilities, muscle energetics, fatigue, and aging.
