Skeletal Muscle : Form and Function
Skeletal Muscle: Form and Function by Alan J. McComas is a comprehensive reference published by Human Kinetics in 1996. This 416-page book is presented in English and serves as a valuable resource for exercise physiologists, physical therapists, athletic trainers, sports medics, and strength and conditioning specialists. It systematically explores the extensive knowledge surrounding skeletal muscle, integrating classic texts in muscle physiology with recent discoveries in the field.
Readers will find detailed discussions on how muscle structure relates to function, the development of muscles in the embryo, and the processes that occur when muscles are engaged. The book also addresses clinical disorders arising from defects in muscle or nerve fibers, providing practical examples that connect physiological concepts to real-world applications. With its focus on research methodology and results, this edition offers a thorough understanding of muscular function and its implications in clinical settings.
Official synopsis Publisher
This logically-organized reference for exercise physiologists, physical therapists, athletic trainers, sports medics, and strength and conditioning specialists refers to classic texts in muscle physiology and to recent discoveries in the field. It also includes research methodology and results. The author first examines the wide-ranging information known about skeletal muscle, and then provides practical examples of how physiological concepts are related to clinical disorders resulting from muscle or nerve fibre defects. He explains how muscle structure translates into function; how muscles develop in the embryo and obtain their nerve supply; the cellular processes which take place when muscles work, and how certain clinical disorders result from specific defects in muscle and nerve.
