London 2012: The biomedical basis of elite performance

摘要

As you will undoubtedly be fully aware, Britain is hosting the London 2012 Olympic Games. To mark this historic occasion, The Physiological Society (in association with the British Pharmacological Society and John Wiley & Sons) has organised a three-day international scientific meeting in central London (19-21 March) to showcase world-leading exercise physiology and medical research focused on human exercise and performance. The Journal of Physiology has played a major role in supporting this event and this is continued by the publication of this special issue highlighting the Exercise Metabolism Symposium from the second day of the meeting.
