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:
