Oxidative Eustress in Exercise Physiology (Oxidative Stress and Disease)
Oxidative Eustress in Exercise Physiology is a groundbreaking book that explores the dual role of oxidative stress in exercise science—not only as a potential source of damage but also as a beneficial physiological signal that enhances performance, adaptation, and recovery. Part of the prestigious Oxidative Stress and Disease series, this book offers an advanced and research-driven perspective on how reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative eustress contribute to muscle physiology, endurance, and athletic training.
