Henning Wackerhage – författare

Fully revised and expanded, the second edition of Molecular Exercise Physiology offers a student-friendly introduction. It introduces a history documenting the emergence of molecular biology techniques to investigate exercise physiology, the methodology used, exercise genetics and epigenetics, and the molecular mechanisms that lead to adaptation after different types of exercise, with explicit links to outcomes in sport performance, nutrition, physical activity and clinical exercise.

Structured around key topics in sport and exercise science and featuring contributions from pioneering scientists, such as Nobel Prize winners, this edition includes new chapters based on cutting-edge research in epigenetics and muscle memory, satellite cells, exercise in cancer, at altitude, and in hot and cold climates. Chapters include learning objectives, structured guides to further reading, review questions, overviews of work by key researchers and box discussions from important pioneers in the field, making it a complete resource for any molecular exercise physiology course. The book includes cell and molecular biology laboratory methods for dissertation and research projects in molecular exercise physiology and muscle physiology.

This book is essential reading for upper-level undergraduate or postgraduate courses in cellular and molecular exercise physiology and muscle physiology. It is a valuable resource for any student with an advanced interest in exercise physiology in both sport performance and clinical settings.

Molekulare Sport- und Leistungsphysiologie ist die Lehre der Genetik und Signaltransduktion im Kontext körperlicher Aktivität. Ihre grundlegenden Ansprüche liegen in der Erforschung des Einfluss der Genetik auf die sportliche Leistungsfähigkeit und der Anpassungsprozesse durch Bewegungs- oder Trainingsreize auf molekularer und zellulärer Ebene.

Dieses Werk vermittelt Grundlagenwissen in Genetik, Molekular- und Zellbiologie, stellt molekulare Mechanismen in leistungsphysiologischen Systemen dar und verbindet sportmedizinische mit -wissenschaftlichen Aspekten der körperlichen Leistungsfähigkeit. Der Brückenschlag zwischen theoretischem Wissen und praktischer Umsetzung gelingt durch Einbindung methodischer Aspekte in die sog. „Tooltipps“.
