Summary:

"This book contains information about how the nerves and muscles collaborate during acute and chronic exercise. It aims to give students knowledge of the basic functions of nervous and muscular systems to understand exercise more thoroughly. Readers will develop a better understanding of concepts such as muscle fibers and fatigue, aerobic endurance training, molecular mechanisms, and resistance training"-- Provided by publisher.

Contents:
