if you're interested in adquiring an easy and understandable base about proteins, carbohydrates and fats this book is a must as well as an indipensable start to understand further readings about the metabolism of exercise. The complete explanation about the turnover of proteins, krebs cycle, fatty acids, different roles of celular ARN are so well explained that you don't need to be an expert to understand the basics of this biochemical principles.

If you want to learn the complex, down to the bare bone science of how the human physiology reacts to exercise and nutrition. This book is excellent at explaining the biochemistry of exercise science. If you want to read some elementary fitness then this book is not for you, if you want to learn the true science and really challenge you mind and really learn how the body physiology, anatomy, nutrition and exercise biochemistry work so you can completely floor your friends when you speak at the gym of what you learned, then buy this book. :)

I'm not even on page 50 yet and this is the 5th time you write an entire page describing a diagram that is on the NEXT PAGE. Do you expect us to flip back and forth everytime we read a line to understand what the hell you're talking about? It's not that hard to put text UNDER THE DIAGRAM THAT YOU'RE DESCRIBING. Basic textbook writing skills Mr. Houston. Secondly, the overly complex examples you use to describe simple concepts do not help students in the slightest bit. Just because you know everything about the subject doesn't mean that we do. If this book wasn't testable I'd throw it out the window. Just terrible and frustrating to read.

Shipment for this book was fast. didnt worry at all about having my books in time. would use this company again.
