Book on physiology for sport

[funb]

I'm looking for a book (not a website or e-book) that explains the basics of physiology for sport - mainly wanting to know about energy systems, hormones, recovery, sleep, adaptations, muscle growth, fat loss, digestion times, nutrition, etc. It doesn't need to be hugely technical/detailed (I'm not doing a degree over here), just a clear explanation about how everything works. Can anyone recommend one?

I am looking at "Physiology of Sport and Exercise" by Wilmore & Kenney as it's what came up on Amazon and has decent reviews. I checked out Vanders Human Physiology as it was mentioned elsewhere on MP but that seems too broad for what I want..

It's all crickets and tumbleweed in here, isn't it. Maybe I should elaborate on what sort of things I am wanting to educate myself about... So, stuff like:

- How long does food take to digest and get to your muscles, i.e. what is the window of opportunity I have to get some carbs in post workout.
- If you exercise in a fasted state, how does the body choose where it gets its energy from (fat vs muscle)
- What do all the various hormones do (dopamine, serotonin, melatonin, cortisol, etc etc) and when do they go up and down naturally, and how can you help this using nutrition and thus improve things like sleep (I have looked these up but get bogged down in technical detail too quickly)
- How much time does muscle need to repair itself, depending on your workout, eg how many days should one leave between legs sessions, is it ok to run inbetween, etc
- What happens if you go for a walk after a weights session, does the whey you just drank get used to fuel the walk, or does it go to your muscles and fat get used for the walk

I have tried googling for these sorts of things but really would prefer a reference book so I can look things up as and when I need (i.e. forget) them. I already have a few books on weight training but looking to complete with some layman's science about how the rest of the body works.

Anyone...? Bueller.. Bueller..
