Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Fifth Edition,offers comprehensive coverage of the relationship between human physiology and exercise. Updated in both content and design, this edition features revamped artwork that better illustrates how the body performs and responds to physical activity.

Applied Exercise & Sport Physiology, Fourth Edition, presents theory and application in an appealing, balanced, and manageable format. By providing an essential introduction to the systems of the human body and covering important aspects of exercise and sport physiology, it will be a useful resource for students as they learn to become exercise science professionals, physician's assistants, physical therapists, physical educators, or coaches. It provides the right amount of practical information they will need to apply in hospitals, clinics, schools, and settings such as health clubs, youth sport leagues, and similar environments. The authors have carefully designed the material to be covered easily in one semester, in an introductory course, but the book can also serve as a foundation for advanced courses. Its 18 lab experiences are matched to relevant chapters and complement the topics covered; they allow readers to apply physiological principles to exercise and sport, provide opportunities for hands-on learning and application of the scientific principles, and often don't require complex equipment.

In this book an international group of sports scientists examine the major sports and the physiological demands of each.

Children are not mini-adults. They are growing and maturing at their own individual rates and their physiological responses to exercise are dependent on a large number of variables as they progress through childhood and adolescence into adult life. Understanding has been limited by the fact that measurement techniques and equipment developed for use with adults are often not appropriate or even ethical for use with young people. These issues are addressed in this book which provides an analysis of physiological responses to exercise in relation to age, growth, maturation and sex. Structured in an easy, accessible way for students and lecturersWell referenced, including a further reading list with each chapterNumerous standard textbook elements, including learning objectives, key points and an extensive glossary of terms and commonly used abbreviationsThe editor and contributors are all active researchers in paediatric exercise physiology with experience of teaching modules in this area

This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. A title in the Advances in Sport and Exercise Science series, it provides valuable, current information for those involved in sports science, coaching science, physical education, and health promotion. Highly respected researchers and practitioners in the field have come together to produce a text containing a wealth of knowledge and experience in dealing with training at the highest level of athletics. Drawing on all available research literature, this book offers a significant contribution to training physiology by providing an in-depth explanation of coaching science using both theoretical and practical models for training across a wide range of coaching disciplines. Presents comprehensive coverage of the physiology of training. Outstanding list of contributors, including Olympic and World Championship Medallists from a variety of sports. Theory presented is underscored by practical examples across a broad range of athletics, providing a special blend of information combined with practical application. Exclusive chapters address training and medical conditions, as well as training and the environment. Clearly organized structure allows rapid access to desired information, making it a prime resource and practical teaching tool.

Women and Exercise is an invluable resource for all physicians, from general practitioners to specialists seeking information outside their specialty, who need up-to-date information and expert advice about women and exercise.

This textbook integrates basic exercise physiology with research studies to stimulate learning, allowing readers to apply principles in the widest variety of exercise and sport science careers. It combines basic exercise physiology with special applications and contains flexible organisation of independent units.
