Summary:

This unique resource presents current perspectives and special issues in sports medicine and pulmonary biology -- providing previously unavailable information on a broad variety of topics and reviewing the effect of training on respiratory muscles. Written by recognized experts in many subdisciplines of the field, Sports and Exercise Medicine explains the causes of sudden death in athletes, such as unrecognized congenital diseases, heat stress, asthma, and the sickle cell trait ... discusses heat illness ranging from mild disturbances to heat stroke ... explores the status of the spinally injured ... reviews the O[subscript 2] transport characteristics of high-altitude residents and their functional importance ... furnishes guidelines for food regimens that support and enhance endurance exercise ... examines the physiological factors that may limit or influence marathon running performance ... elucidates the hypoxic ventilatory response at sea level and high altitudes ... and much more. Generously referenced and illustrated, Sports and Exercise Medicine is a useful guide for physiologists, pulmonary disease specialists, sports medicine specialists, pulmonologists, chest and thoracic physicians, cardiologists, internists, and graduate and medical school students in these disciplines.
