Description xx, 702 pages : illustrations (chiefly color) ; 28 cm Contents Origins of exercise physiology : foundations for the field of study -- Macronutrients and micronutrients -- Food energy and optimum nutrition for exercise -- Nutritional and pharmacologic aids to performance -- Fundamentals of human energy transfer -- Human energy transfer during exercise -- Measuring and evaluating human energy-generating capacities during exercise -- Energy expenditure during rest and physical activity -- The pulmonary system and exercise -- The cardiovascular system and exercise -- The neuromuscular system and exercise -- Hormones, exercise, and training -- Training the anaerobic and aerobic energy systems -- Training muscles to become stronger -- Factors affecting physiologic function : the environment and special aids to performance -- Body composition, obesity, and weight control -- Physical activity, exercise, successful aging, and disease prevention -- Clinical aspects of exercise physiology Summary This book emphasizes nutrition as the foundation of exercise and uses a new student-friendly magazine-style design, hallmark pedagogy, and an engaging writing style to make exercise physiology interesting and understandable for today's undergraduate students. Featuring updates in every section that reflect the latest trends and research in the field, Essentials of exercise physiology helps students develop a deep understanding of the interrelationships among energy intake, energy transfer during exercise, and the related physiologic systems. As they progress through the book, students also master the how-tos of applying key concepts to enhance exercise training, athletic performance, and health.
