Exercise Physiology

Exercise Physiology: Theory and Application to Fitness and Performance (New Update Revised Edition)
By Scott K. Powers & Edward T. Howley

Exercise Physiology: Theory and Application to Fitness and Performance by Scott K. Powers and Edward T. Howley is designed for students interested in exercise physiology, clinical exercise physiology, human performance, kinesiology/exercise science, physical therapy, and physical education. This updated edition provides an up-to-date understanding of the physiology of exercise through numerous clinical applications, including exercise tests to evaluate cardiorespiratory fitness and information on exercise training for improvements in health-related physical fitness and sports performance. The book is organized into three main sections: physiology of exercise, physiology of health and fitness, and physiology of performance.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Common measurements in exercise physiology
• Control of the internal environment and bioenergetics
• Exercise metabolism and hormonal responses to exercise
• Exercise and the immune system
• Nervous system structure and control of movement
• Skeletal muscle structure and function
• Circulatory and respiratory responses to exercise
• Acid-base balance and temperature regulation during exercise
• The physiology of training and its effects on VO2 max, performance, and strength
• Risk factors and inflammation linked to chronic disease
• Work tests to evaluate cardiorespiratory fitness
• Exercise prescriptions for health and fitness
• Exercise for special populations

Key features:

• Comprehensive scope allowing instructors to select material most relevant to their course
• Numerous clinical applications connecting theory with real-world practice
• Coverage of "Exercise is Medicine" concepts and chronic disease management through exercise
• Clear presentation of the latest research in exercise physiology
• Updated new edition reflecting current research and clinical applications

Perfect for:

• BSc Nursing and allied health science students
• Physical therapy and kinesiology/exercise science students
• Sports science and human performance students
