Essentials of Exercise PhysiologyDeals with energy transfer and physical activity, including a discussion of the basics of energy transfer at rest and the dynamics of energy release during various levels of physical activity up to the maximum; focuses on food energy and the concept of optimal nutrition and its role in exercise physiology, human performance, and good health; explores the physiologic support systems for physical activity, with emphasis on the structure, function, and exercise and training responses of the pulmonary, cardiovascular, neuromuscular and endocrine systems; considers training for muscular strength and conditioning for anaerobic and aerobic power; and explores the underlying rationale for evaluating body composition among groups of highly trained men and women. |
