Energetics of Muscular Exercise
This book discusses the maximal power and capacity of the three major biochemical pathways - aerobic (oxygen consumption), anaerobic lactic (muscle lactate accumulation in absence of oxygen consumption), and anaerobic alactic (phosphocreatine hydrolysis)

Foreword
Pietro di Prampero’s review of 1981 is the landmark that set the state of the art of our knowledge in the field of the energetics of muscular exercise in those times. It resumed what can now be considered as classical studies under the perspective of the general theory of the energetics of muscular exercise developed within the School of Milano created by Rodolfo Margaria, which di Prampero is an eminent member of. The study of the energetics of muscular exercise dives back in history much more than we may imagine at a first sight, owing a lot to classical chemistry, morphology and biochemistry. Yet the first key concepts of it were essentially outlined by Margaria in 1933, and progressively refined, first by Margaria himself, then by his pupils, as long as the experimental evidence grew. That era was finally framed by di Prampero in 1981. The general theory of the energetics of muscular exercise has been the cultural reference of this book. Other physiological schools played crucial roles in that story as well. In particular, I would like to mention the Scandinavian schoo
