Series: Translational Epigenetics

Epigenetics of Exercise and Sports, Volume 24: Concepts, Methods, and Current Research explains fundamental epigenetic processes and how they are altered by exercise and sports. After a brief review of fundamental epigenetic biology, this all-new volume in the Translational Epigenetics series offers step-by-step instruction on how epigenetic factors are investigated for their influence over exercise related traits of human physiology, disease and injury. The current state of knowledge and recent findings are discussed in detail, illuminating how exercise and sports performance may epigenetically modify our physiology, disease and injury risks.

The book also explores the shortcomings of explaining exercise related phenomena using only genomics and traditional biochemical techniques, setting the scene for a paradigm shift in exercise biology. In addition, over a dozen international specialists contribute chapters on exercise and sports epigenetics, reporting their expertise on metabolism, obesity, aging, immunity and neurological disease.

Stuart M Raleigh, BSc, FIBMS, PhD is Senior Lecturer and Reader in Biosciences (Genetics and Epigenetics) at Coventry University, Coventry, UK in the Division of Sport, Exercise and Life Sciences. His research interests focus on genetics, epigenetics, and biochemical mechanisms of disease. He is specifically interested in identifying genetic variants that influence the risk of musculoskeletal soft tissue pathologies, such as tendinopathy and ligament ruptures. He is also initiating work on the link between miRNA expression and various age-related chronic diseases. Dr. Raleigh is a Member of the British Society for Genetic Medicine and the Biochemical Society, and he currently leads the University of Northampton's Centre for Physical Activity and Chronic Disease (PACD). He is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA), and he is Section Editor (Genomics theme) for the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine.
