Author Stephen        M. Roth, PhD, makes the content comprehensible for readers who are        unfamiliar with genetics without sacrificing the foundational and        critical understanding necessary for interpreting research findings and        incorporating genetics into research programs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGenetics Primer for Exercise Science and Health\u003c\/i\u003emaintains a        practical focus and addresses common concerns when preparing to study        genetics, such as how to use online search tools to identify existing        research literature and how to identify and select candidate genes using        genome databases. Through this text, readers will discover these        concepts:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e·                  The basics of DNA and genetics as they relate to        health, physical activity, and sport \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e·                  Specific skills and strategies for interpreting and        applying genetics findings in research \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e·                  How genetics research may affect sport performance        training and clinical practice\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e·                  The ethical issues raised by genetics in society and        sport\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecial focus sections are incorporated throughout the text,        providing expanded discussions of interesting topics in each chapter.        Students see examples of how the principles described in the book have        played out in real-life research, and they receive explicit instructions        on planning and interpreting genetics research. Pedagogical aids such as        summaries, key terms, and review questions also make this text ideal for        efficient learning. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I \u003c\/b\u003epresents readers with the basic biology and genetics        information they need in order to understand and apply the information        to exercise science. \u003cb\u003ePart II\u003c\/b\u003e explores the research and design        methods that will help readers interpret and apply their findings. \u003cb\u003ePart        III\u003c\/b\u003eaddresses some of the current research findings in the        area of genetics in exercise and health and discusses current issues in        the field, including the potential for misuse of new genetic        technologies and the ethics involved in gene doping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGenetics Primer for Exercise Science and Health\u003c\/i\u003eis the        second volume in Human Kinetics' Primers in Exercise Science series,        which provides students and professionals with a nonintimidating basic        understanding of the science behind its topic and, where appropriate,        how that science is applied. These books are written by leading        researchers and teachers in their respective areas of expertise. The        authors present in an easy-to-understand manner the essential concepts        in dynamic, complex areas of scientific knowledge. The books in the        series are ideal for researchers and professionals who need some        background in an unfamiliar scientific area. The books also function as        accessible basic references for those who will be returning to the        material often. This particular book adds a health dimension to the        exercise science focus of the series, with discussions on disease- and        health-related information. \u003c\/p\u003eGenetic research      will play an important role in the future practice of exercise science and      health, requiring students and professionals to have this basic knowledge      for success in their careers. Through its practical presentation of      current and basic topics, \u003ci\u003eGenetics Primer for Exercise Science and      Health\u003c\/i\u003e makes the case for more universities to introduce genetics      courses to their curricula. Having the essential topics of genetics in a      single, practical introductory text will facilitate the work of      instructors, students, and professionals. \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Stephen M.
