Summary:

"Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Ninth Edition, is an introduction to the fields of sport and exercise physiology. The text builds on the knowledge developed during basic course work in human anatomy and physiology and applies those principles in studying how the body (1) performs and responds to the added demands of an acute bout of exercise, and (2) adapts to repeated bouts of exercise. The reader is guided through the interactions of the muscular, metabolic, nervous, and endocrine systems as they produce movement, how the cardiovascular and respiratory systems support active muscles, and the impact of the external environment on physical performance. The text then covers exercise prescription and nutrition for health and optimal performance, as well as considerations for specific populations. The chapters are augmented with animations, audio, and video clips, provided online for students and instructors. This edition includes all new Research Perspective sidebars that highlight interesting current research"-- P publishedrovided by publisher.
