A study of how and why biochemical monitoring is done, offering a combined package of theory and application. It pairs in-depth discussions with practical suggestions for how to actually biochemically monitor athletes yourself. Part One includes a discussion of why biochemical monitoring of training is necessary and the opportunities it presents for both coaches and athletes. Part Two examines methodological limitations of studies in this area, and Part Three presents how to apply biochemical methods to monitor training in the real world.

Atko-Meeme Viru, PhD, DSc, is a professor emeritus specializing in exercise physiology at the University of Tartu in Estonia. His investigations examine both the fundamental problems and applied questions related to the foundations of training monitoring. He earned a PhD from the University of Tartu in Estonia and a DSc from the Academy of Sciences of Estonia. Mehis Viru, PhD, is a senior reseacher, head of the Laboratory of Sports Physiology, and the chair of coaching studies at the University of Tartu in Estonia. His main research areas are training monitoring, overtraining, and metabolic-hormonal adaptation to exercise and training. Dr. Viru has spent 15 years monitoring the training of Estonian elite athletes in different sport events. He studied and worked for four years at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, one of the world's leading medical institutes. Dr. Viru earned a PhD from the University of Tartu in Estonia.

Part 1 The purpose of biochemical monitoring of training: introduction - necessity and opportunity; metabolic adaptation in training. Part 2 Tools for biochemical monitoring of training: metabolites and substrates; methodology of hormone studies; hormones as tools for training monitoring; hermatological and immunilogical indices and water-electrolyte balance. Part 3 Actualization of biochemical monitoring of training: information of training-induced effects; evaluating training loads; assessing adaptivity changes for optimizing training strategies.
