9th Greek Conference of Biochemistry and Physiology of Exercise

Capsis Hotel, Thessaloniki, Greece | 18–20 October 2019

Volume Editor: Vassilis Mougios, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece

Cover Story: Exercise biochemistry and physiology is a very active field of scientific endeavor, which, over the past half-century, has contributed immensely to our understanding of how muscle activity alters the way our bodies (and those of other animals) function. The Hellenic Society of Biochemistry and Physiology of Exercise is organizing its 9th annual conference at Capsis Hotel, Thessaloniki, Greece, on October 18 to 20, 2019. This collection includes 39 abstracts of works that will be presented in the conference. The abstracts cover all five topics of the conference, that is, Exercise biochemistry and molecular biology, Exercise physiology, Applications of training in sports, Clinical exercise physiology and health, and Sport nutrition. We hope you enjoy browsing the abstracts, and we invite you to attend our conference!
