Document Summary
Life has radiated into every conceivable habitat, filling every possible niche in the world. It is persistent and intrusive spreading everywhere, adapting itself, resisting everything, defying everything, surviving everything. This is made possible because of biochemical adaptation: organisms adapt to (cid:862)life i(cid:374) e(cid:454)tre(cid:373)e e(cid:374)(cid:448)iro(cid:374)(cid:373)e(cid:374)ts(cid:863) o(cid:449)i(cid:374)g to e(cid:448)ol(cid:448)ed changes in structure, function, control, and integration of biological molecules (especially macromolecules) and metabolic processes. Diverse adaptations (solutions) to common problems have been evolved, but many common denominators exist in all kingdoms of life, particularly the use of.

Many aspects of exercise adaptation were also explored using fish, seals, dogs, horses, llamas, hummingbirds, rats, moles, shrews, and humans (elite athletes)
