| Summary |
"Physiology of Sport and Exercise is back in an updated fourth edition that is better than ever. Renowned authors Jack Wilmore and David Costill add the expertise of W. Larry Kenney to bring a fresh perspective to the organization and content of the new edition. Building on the positive feedback of previous editions, it presents the complex relationship between human physiology and exercise in a format that is more easily understandable for students than other comparable texts." -back cover |
