Founded on an analysis of scientific literature and backed by an abundance of references, this timely new book examines problems related to sports training, as well as the concept that training-induced changes are founded on adaptive protein synthesis. Discussions include:oAlterations in the organism's adaptivity during exercise trainingoIntracellular control of protein synthesis points on molecular mechanisms in exercise trainingoEndocrine mechanisms with regard to acute adaptation during exercise, as well as amplification and post-translation control of the adaptive protein synthesisoPractical benefits of the adaptation process in training
