Cellular Physiology and Metabolism of Physical Exercise (eBook, PDF)

Topical Clinical Issues

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This new edition discusses classical aspects of cellular physiology and the metabolism of physical exercise, as well as novel topics like exercise in transplantation and exercise in beta-cell failure, which mark the frontiers of research in sport-related sciences and research. The team of authors together with the editor are world-renowned experts in the field of physiology and metabolism applied to sport sciences. In order to make the book answering also to current pandemic clinical issue, this second edition includes new chapters, specifically dealing with COVID-related issues.

Exercise physiologists, biologists and physicians will benefit from this book. However, the comprehensive nature of the content makes this publication suitable also for university classes of graduate and undergraduate student.

Autorenporträt

Livio Luzi, M.D., is Professor of Endocrinology at the University of Milan and is the Director of the Department of Endocrinology, Nutrition and Metabolic Diseases at the IRCCS MultiMedica, Sesto San Giovanni, Milan, Italy.
After receiving his medical degrees from the University of Milan, Prof. Luzi completed his research fellowships in Endocrinology at Yale University and in Diabetes at the University of Texas Health Science Center. From 1993-1996 he was on the faculty of Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School as an Assistant Professor, before returning to Italy. Prof. Luzi was also Adjunct Professor of Surgery at the University of Miami from 2005 until 2012.
The clinical activity of Prof. Livio Luzi takes place in the Endocrinology Department and under the Ambulatory activities at the IRCCS MultiMedica. The clinical scientific activities conducted by Endocrinology Department concern the pathophysiology, the research for innovative therapies and the evaluation of current diagnostic procedures for type 1 and type 2 diabetes, obesity and metabolic diseases. Furthermore, special attention is also paid to the study of cardiovascular, metabolic and bone complications in patients with these diseases.
Prof. Luzi has a wide experience in research and teaching in the area of sport physiology: a. He was the Dean of the faculty of Exercise Physiology of the University of Milan from 2006 up to 2010; b. he founded and was the Editor-in-Chief for 2 terms of the scientific Journal Sports Sciences for Health
