Energetics of Muscular Exercise [electronic resource] /
Ferretti, Guido.author.
This book discusses the maximal power and capacity of the three major biochemical pathways ­- aerobic (oxygen consumption), anaerobic lactic (muscle lactate accumulation in absence of oxygen consumption), and anaerobic alactic (phosphocreatine hydrolysis) metabolism - as well as the factors that limit them. It also discusses the metabolic and cardio-pulmonary mechanisms of the dynamic response to exercise. The way and extent to which the power and capacity of the three major energy metabolisms are affected under a number of different conditions, such as training, hypoxia and microgravity, are also described.
Description based upon print version of record.
Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.
Introductory and Historical Remarks -- Aerobic Metabolism and the Steady-State Concept -- Exercise Transients -- Maximal Oxygen Consumption -- Critical Power -- Supramaximal Exercise.
