DESCRIPTION:
Updated for its Fourth Edition with increased art and photos, this undergraduate exercise physiology textbook integrates basic exercise physiology with research studies to stimulate learning, allowing readers to apply principles in the widest variety of exercise and sport science careers. The book has comprehensive coverage, including integrated material on special populations, and a flexible organization of independent units, so instructors can teach according to their preferred approach. Each unit is designed with a consistent and comprehensive sequence of presentation: basic anatomy and physiology, the measurement and meaning of variables important to understanding exercise physiology, exercise responses, training principles, and special applications, problems, and considerations.
FEATURES:
- Consistent pedagogical approach to each chapter makes difficult concepts easy to follow.
- Current and up-to-date content incorporates the very latest research.
- Focus on Application boxes help students relate basic concepts to situations in the real world.
- Focus on Research boxes expose students to new findings in the field.
- Coverage of women, children, and the elderly and their response to exercise is integrated throughout the chapters to provide a link between theory and real-world application.
- Exercise Icons and color coding within figures and figure legends represent specific exercise response patterns and allow for quick recognition of the condition presented.
