In this update of the 2006 edition, Tiidus, a fellow professor of kinesiology and physical education at Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, and a Canadian biochemist introduce exercise science students to the latest basics of biochemistry relevant to exercise and exercise training. In the context of a new systems approach to biomedical health and exercise science, part I covers amino acids, proteins, enzymes, and DNA/RNA transcription processes. Part II treats the body's energy system requirements and metabolism. The text includes a feature examining new/controversial research findings, illustrations, and chapter review questions with an answer key. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
