Antioxidants and Exercise (book)

Price: $40.00

In this innovative book Dr. Jan Karlsson presents his most recent conclusions on nutratherapy. He focuses on vitamins Q E, and F1 and how they relate to exercise, sports, and health with his unique perspective. Among the world's foremost researchers on radicals and antioxidants, Karlsson clarifies the relationships between:

nutratherapy and preventive medicine

muscle metabolism and radical-antioxidant biology

muscle biochemistry and food choices

foods, food supplements, and physical performance.

This great book is clearly written and broadly illustrated with information on Antioxidants and Exercise including the latest research on nutratherapy and how it can enhance performance.

This is a must have reference for exercise physiologists, sport nutritionists, sports medicine professionals, and muscle physiologists. But offers useful information for anyone interested in nutrition, exercise and health.

Here is a simple overview of what this book has to offer:

Part I: Introduction to Nutraology

Chapter 1. Introduction
This section includes the history of radical and antioxidant science and the applicability of nutratherapy to recreational exercise and elite sports.
